In the spare moments that Tony isn’t supporting his contract and the CEO’s “great ideas,” he enjoys fishing, golf, and spending time with family. (CEO EDIT – Tony thinks he is much funnier than he really is). Rumor has it he also likes Ohio sports teams (which the CEO, as a born and bred Michigander, judges him for).
