Tony is excited about his opportunities in the TOC.

Tony has been hired by Emory to be a monitoring application admin in the Technical Operations Center (TOC). Prior to Emory he was at M*Modal in Norcross, GA for 14 years, where he did a little bit of everything, including Windows and Linux administration and monitoring. Before that, he was based in the UK working for the Wychavon District Council as a mainframe, UNIX, and Windows admin.

Tony studied Electrical Engineering and Programming at Worcester Technical College in the UK. He is a Redhat certified technician.

Born in Worcester, Tony took a business trip to Atlanta years ago and met a lovely Georgia girl who sat next to him on the plane. Eventually they got married and moved to England. After not being able to get his bride used to the rain, Tony moved his family back to Atlanta in 2007.

Tony enjoys hiking, cycling, is an avid reader. He has two daughters, ages 10 and 7, and according to Tony, “They are a handful!”
