The Team

Tony began his career in the late 80's as an executive recruiter in the technology, media and entertainment industries and helped build the management teams for companies like Amazon, ebay, Dreamworks PDI Animation, Electronic Arts, Silver King Television, Microsoft, The Golf Channel and many others. In most cases, when Tony and his partners got involved with these companies, they were merely unknown startups.  After more than 20 years of success, Tony turned his attention to his true passion, TV and film production. After cutting his teeth on a few TV shows, Tony became part of the startup team that conceived, created and re-launched Wonderama, a classic kids' show that originally aired from 1955-1977.​  Shortly after getting Wonderama off the ground, Tony was recruited to produce a full-length feature thriller. It was during this period that Tony set forth to create, develop and ultimately implement a new business model for the entertainment business and so FIO Entertainment was born.​
