Following a successful career as a senior executive of a public company, Tony was recruited into the Financial Services business in 2004. Starting at Smith Barney Citigroup, he later joined Morgan Stanley in 2006 where he has been ever since. Tony knew this was the field where he wanted to build a second career when the recruiter stated that "if he partnered with the strongest financial services firm in the country, he would have the resources to be impactful to families!" Previously, he was a Board Member and Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Royal Precision, specializing in the manufacture and sales of performance golf shafts and golf grips. Tony founded Montgomery & Associates, a manufacturer and distributor of custom golf clubs, accessories, and gifts, which ultimately merged with Royal Precision. He also owned successful painting and remodeling, real estate, and floor covering businesses. His experience in business, having P & L (Profit & Loss) responsibility provides him a unique perspective of capital markets. As a father and grandfather, Tony shares the real-life experiences of our clientele. The combination allows him to have empathy and thoughtful decision-making.
Tony grew up in Oregon, and now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. He lives every day to the fullest. Tony loves his family and friends and does not spend a minute with people who are negative and draining. Life is too short! There is nothing more important to Tony than family!

Tony and his wife love this chapter of their lives and raise their hand anytime the kids need them to do anything.
Outside of work, Tony is passionate about golf, traveling, food and wine, especially Oregon Pinot Noir. He also enjoys family dinners, barbecuing, and life experiences.
