Tony is a Pittsburgh native who believes the city's neighborhoods are its greatest asset. He writes about the people making those neighborhoods vibrant—the business owners opening new restaurants, the founders starting companies from Lawrenceville to Brookline, the community leaders rallying neighbors around shared goals. His reporting celebrates the resilience and optimism he sees in Pittsburgh's diverse neighborhoods, and he's most excited when he's sitting across from someone with a vision for their block or their business.

Still living in Bloomfield where he grew up, Tony knows his city and its neighborhoods intimately. He covers the human side of Pittsburgh's growth: who's opening what, why they chose Pittsburgh, what they're building for their communities. He's interested in generational stories—longtime family businesses passing to the next generation, young entrepreneurs returning to the city where they grew up. For Tony, the story of Pittsburgh's future is really the story of its people and neighborhoods, and those are the stories he loves to tell.
