Tony has deep ties in Scouting. Having entered the program as a Cub Scout at a young age, he climbed through the ranks to achieve Scouting’s highest honor, the rank of Eagle Scout. While in the program as a youth, Tony spent most of his summers at Heritage Reservation. His professional career with Scouting began during his college years when he joined the Camp Guyasuta staff as an Assistant Ranger, a position he held until 2007 when he assumed the role of full time Ranger at Camp Twin Echo, a former Laurel Highlands Council camp that was in Ligonier, PA. 

Tony’s journey at Heritage Reservation began in 2019, when he was promoted to Council Construction Manager. He oversaw numerous projects in that role, notably the construction of 3 modern shower facilities. In 2020, he assumed the role of Head Ranger, a position he held until 2023 when he was promoted to Director of Heritage Reservation. 

In his free time, Tony enjoys thrifting, yard sales, and spending time with his son, Anthony, and dog, Ranger. Tony is grateful every day he has the opportunity to help instill the values of Scouting in today's youth.
