Tony joined The Villages sales team in November of 2009. He grew up in the southeast of England in a small village called Bodiam in the county of Sussex. After attending hotel and restaurant college in England he worked in Switzerland, Monte Carlo, England and Bermuda before coming to the United States in 1977.

Tony and his wife Geralynn moved to The Villages in 2008. Together they have four children spread between Connecticut, Colorado and Florida. They are the proud grandparents of six grandchildren who they visit frequently. Prior to moving to The Villages they lived in Danbury, Connecticut for 20 years.

Playing golf and bike riding are on the top of the list when it comes to activities Tony likes. Geralynn and Tony both love to travel, seek out interesting foods, spend time with family and see Broadway shows. Tony is an avid soccer fan, following Chelsea in the Premier League, but he is also into American sports particularly baseball and football.

Tony has many endorsements from customers he has worked with and assisted in the process both before and after becoming residents of The Villages. Most will tell you that they enjoy working with him because he is low-key, quick to respond, knowledgeable about The Villages and provides 100 percent follow-up. He believes living in The Villages is a clear advantage.

“Properties of The Villages is a great organization and business model that truly cares about customers and employees. It’s very easy to endorse and sell a lifestyle and homes knowing that it is the best of the best. I really enjoy meeting and working with people from all walks of life -- all with different goals and needs. Each day and each customer is unique which keeps me interested and focused.
