Born in Sydney and educated in Australia and Vancouver, Tony graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in Urban Geography while studying urban land use and land use economics.

Originally licensed in 1983, Tony has served as a division director of the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board, and has served on a number of committees and task forces for the Board and the British Columbia Real Estate Association, and in 1990 Tony obtained his broker's licence. 

Tony has established an enviable reputation within the real estate community and the public through hard work and his ability to put his clients' interests above all else, while maintaining a “no pressure” approach to selling real estate. The majority of Tony’s business comes from past clients and referrals from past clients – a testament to Tony’s ability to help his clients buy and sell real estate with as little stress as possible.

Tony’s very successful first book, 'Buying and Selling a Home for Canadians for Dummies' ® was published in 2001, with the second edition of the book published in May, 2003, the third edition published in 2006 and the fourth edition published in the spring of 2011.
