Tony grew up in his parent’s hardware store, learning how to use his hands and master a catalog of DIY projects along the way. Now, years later, he’s still putting those skills to work: spending his free time remodeling homes, building custom furniture pieces and taking up new trades. He has even built his own CNC mill, laser cutter and 3D printer to help support his growing list of hobbies. Outside of work, and the shop, he likes to cook, run, and bike.

Tony’s main sources of inspiration stem from nature. As a designer, his mind is always buzzing with ideas on how he can help improve the built environments in which people use every single day. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology.

While still in college, Tony renovated his very first project house.
