Tony grew up in Boulder, Colorado, where he started
playing trumpet in the 5th grade. A few years later, his band director
advised him to switch instruments, since the trumpet was clearly not a
good match for him. He took up the trombone, and has loved
playing it ever since. Throughout high school he took advantage of
every musical opportunity he could.
