Tony commenced dancing in 1969 and first started calling in 1971 with Ron Mennie and then with Allan Droscher as his mentors. He opened C-City Squares in 1975 with his now wife Christine. Together they also opened Red Hot Plus. Tony served on many committees in various positions including the Victorian Callers Association and the Australian Callers Federation. In 1997 they retired due to family reason and regretfully closed both clubs. In 2012 they moved interstate to Port Macquarie NSW where they have come out of retirement and are opening a new club, which ran for 8 years. Tony moved back to Victoria in 2022 and in March 2023 opened a daytime club in Berwick Victoria Australia.
