Player Bio

Tony’s style of play is appreciated for it’s beautiful form and extension on moves. Tony developed a strong yet smooth style of play in south Florida in the early ‘80’s. With no other players nearby and early involvement in ballet and gymnastics; he traveled to hone his skills and meet other players. After more than two decades of minimal play he returned fully to freestyling in 2009. Coming back to his physical yet balletic style of play has belied his age, and Tony will jam for endless hours whenever possible. Tony’s style has been complimented with learning many new technical moves, while still maintaining the form and extension so appreciated by all throughout his playing career.

Tony’s fully choreographed routines have always been highly creative with music, theming, and presentation; while rapidly assembled routines continue to have the inherent aesthetics of his personal style. The amazing amount of spin he can put on a backhand MAC is always welcome in the jam.

In Tony’s words “It is amazing that we have this passion for freestyle to share in our lives. It’s a real privilege to be a part of once again.”

Tony adds to his career highlights.. “Every beach jam – regardless of where or when!”
