Tony has a long history of cultivating new client relationships and consultant partnerships within the Labor Community. He is active in the community and participates in labor events as an attendee and conference speaker in support of these objectives.
In addition, Tony strengthens our client development objectives serving as subject matter expert on the oversight and management of Multiemployer Labor Funds and Collective Bargaining Units within the workplace.
Before joining the firm, Tony worked at Quantum Health where he was responsible for building a Labor Market vertical supporting the introduction of independent navigation services to union sponsored health programs. Prior to that, Tony served in several different senior roles for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, and served as Vice President of Sales at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Hawaii. In all of these roles, he supported Labor Funds and Labor Trustees on developing and deploying strategies designed to assure fiscal oversight of their Funds and protect member benefits.
Prior to joining the world of benefits, Tony served as General Counsel for LIUNA, Local 368, where he supported all in house legal matters and collaborated with outside counsel as necessary. He also served as an officer for the Local Union, as well as a member of the Board of Trustees on the Union’s multiple benefit funds. Immediately prior to joining LIUNA, Tony worked in private practice in San Diego in the areas of Workmen’s Compensation and Construction Defect Litigation.
Tony notes that his long-term support of the Labor Community has provided him with a great understanding of the unique needs and expectation of Organized Labor. Beyond that, working for LIUNA allowed him to gain direct insight to the key considerations Labor Trustees face on assuring long term sustainability of their benefit funds.
Outside of the office, Tony enjoys hiking, biking, and kayaking. He loves living in the Pacific Northwest where the opportunity to engage in these outdoor activities is readily available.
