Tony Velasquez
Founder & Managing Director
Born into a hard working blue collar family Tony realized at a very young age that if you want to succeed in life you have to work hard and plan for the future. Tony watched his parent’s raise a family of six on a construction workers salary.
At times it wasn’t easy but they always provided for the family. Watching first hand the sacrifices they made helped Tony learn important life lessons that have stuck with him ever since. .
