Tony’s passion for investing began at age 22 while serving as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Early in his investing journey, he discovered the long-term power of disciplined investing and dollar-cost averaging — lessons that continue to shape his philosophy today.
From that first investment to now, his mission has remained consistent:
Help people make smart financial decisions and pursue retirement with confidence.
