Tony joined the Palomar Wealth team as a Financial Advisor in February 2026. Prior to entering the financial services industry, he had a distinguished career in law enforcement, rising to the rank of Lieutenant with the Peoria Police Department. Following his time in law enforcement, Tony pursued his passion for personal finance by earning a master’s degree in financial planning from Iowa State University.
In his second career, Tony combines his strong problem-solving skills, deep knowledge of personal finance, and genuine commitment to helping clients navigate important financial decisions. Tony is dedicated to helping clients achieve their financial goals while fostering relationships grounded in trust, integrity, and accountability.
Tony and his wife, Jenny, have been married for 20 years and have three children, all thriving as young adults in high school and college. Outside of work, the family is actively involved in their community and parish. Tony enjoys spending time with his children through hiking, backpacking, camping, and attending college football games.
One of Tony’s favorite Bible verses is Proverbs 27:17: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” This verse reflects his belief in the value of meaningful relationships, leadership, accountability, and personal growth.
