Tony has over 12 years of experience in the Dietary Supplement and Food/Beverage industries.  He has experience leading teams in Regulatory Affairs, QA, and Scientific Affairs. Tony has helped companies implement and receive certifications in USDA Organic,  various GFSI schemes, GMP, and multiple third-party certifications like Gluten Free, Project Verified, Kosher, Halal and NSF. Throughout his work, he has had experience helping his companies navigate through FDA audits, Warning Letters and recalls, as well as designing and reviewing hundreds of labels for finished products in the food/beverage and dietary supplement industries.

Tony has worked for PepsiCo, General Mills, Standard Process, and a few other small companies throughout his career.  He is a strong believer that all departments in a company should be in sync with each other to ensure the finished products are manufactured safely, are fully traceable, and marketed in an appropriate and legal manner.

Tony lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He enjoys spending his time creating in his woodshop, escaping to the many forests in northern Wisconsin, and playing regular or disc golf.  Tony was hospitalized three different times as a child from various major food-borne outbreaks and has turned those experiences into his career – trying to prevent that from happening to others.
