Tony grew up in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere South Dakota, and graduated from South Dakota State University. He moved to Boise in 2012. All throughout middle and high school, Tony played just about every sport he could (mostly, he says, because there was nothing else to do). He has tried to continue to be an athlete into his adulthood and through each CrossFit workout. He enjoys other athletic pursuits in his free time by golfing and playing softball. He also loves spending time with friends, his wife Taylor, and his English bulldog named Lyle.
