Tony, a multi-talented individual, boasts an impressive athletic background, having earned three NCAA All-American honors in soccer at Hofstra University in New York. His exceptional skills on the field did not go unnoticed, as he was selected by the New York Cosmos in the 5th round of the draft as a freshman and junior, and in the 1st round of the draft during his senior year.
In addition to his athletic pursuits, Tony has dedicated his life to education, spending most of his life as a high school English teacher in the Hamptons. However, his passion for storytelling led him to pursue a career in screenwriting. On the advice of a friend, he sold his first script, "The Suburbans," to Sony/Columbia Pictures in 1998, despite having never written a script before. This marked the beginning of a successful screenwriting career, with Tony going on to complete re-write assignments on several high-profile movies since 1998.
Tony's creative endeavors extend beyond the realm of screenwriting, as he has been photographed by renowned photographer Bruce Weber for GQ Magazine throughout the 1980s. He has also briefly modeled for the Zoli Agency in New York City, showcasing his versatility and talent in various fields.
