Born in the North East of England, Tony has practised as a Chartered Surveyor for more than 16 years, with a specialism in site identification and land acquisition.

For the last 15 years, he has successfully run his own consultancy business with a focus on the telecommunications and media sectors and for the last two years, Tony has been working with Steve on a part time basis to bring Emerge Surf Birmingham to fruition. He plans to come on board full-time later this year as construction works start.

A serious skateboarder in his earlier years, Tony is looking forward to dusting off his skateboard and bringing his surfing skills up to the same level.
