"Tony is both a visionary and a throwback, a rare combination of seeing far into the future and at the same time rooted in a strong work ethic. He can handle most everything thrown at him and will come back for more. Tony is wired totally into social media and if you're not careful, he'll become the Mayor of your house on foursquare. He controls data, it does not control him."

? Dave Winsor, announcer, Nassau Broadcasting, worked directly with Tony at Nassau Broadcasting
"I've managed a lot of air talent in my radio career. Some stand out as unique because they are both more creative and harder-working than most folks. Tony is one of those people. He was the morning show producer on my country station, and as such was one of the three key players on that show. He also filled in on jock shifts on the weekend. Don't order yet; there's more ... he knows social media and production, too. None of us have the luxury of hiring air talent with only one skill set, or who are content to do the minimum to get by. Tony is different. He'll be your guided missile ... send him in the right direction, and good, creative things will happen."

? Chris Miller, WGAR/WMVX Program Director, Clear Channel Radio, Cleveland, Ohio, managed Tony at Clear Channel Radio
"As many creative minds in radio, Tony and I share ideas often. He stands out above the rest and doesn't bring up the same, overused elements and ideas that makes radio stale. Tony thinks from a comedic mind first and then makes it radio specific. Not something you find everyday. It's a GREAT trait to have to compete in the ever challenging and competition field media world today. He is new media with an old media go-to spirit. You will be thrilled to have him on your staff."

? Matt Haze, President/Head Creative Guy, Matt Haze Productions, LLC, was with another company when working with Tony at Clear Channel Radio
"Tony always motivated anyone he ever instructed at the Ohio Center For Broadcasting. He's one of the very few Morning Show Producers who can keep the talent in check and fun at the same time. He's also great on the air as well and he passes along all his knowledge to anyone whose willing to listen. He's a veteran of this business and he's always been there for anyone that asks for his input. There need to be more like Tony, sadly there aren't. He's a true professional in every sense of the word."
