Tony is the Director of The National Gymnastics Training Center Summer Camp in Huguenot, NY. (http://newyorkymcacamp.org/gymnastics)  "I had learned so much at summer camps when I was a gymnast and a "roookie" coach.  I feel it is now the time to pass it on.  I always look forward to the time I spend there and the information I gather. I will never be too old to learn."

His latest venture is as a staff member for the Gymnastics Educational Workshop (GEW) www.gymnasticseducationalworkshop.com.  Under the direction of Cheryl Jarrett, GEW provides a one-day workshop for class instructors.  The mission is to offer an affordable workshop that provides tools and ideas to improve, educate and motivate gymnastics class instructors.
