Born and raised in southern California, Tony has dedicated his life towards animal health and well-being. Not only has he been in the veterinary field since freshman year in high school, he has been a licensed RVT for 13 years and counting. His years of experience in the field and knowledge with handling various cases has helped him mentor several individuals who have later passed their own RVT exams. As a proclaimed Grill Master, Tony is also Chino Hills Animal Hospital’s go-to cook for our Annual Summer Staff BBQ. When he’s not saving the lives of countless animals or showing his mad skills with a grill, Tony enjoys breathing in life and the natural world around him with some “old skool” tunes and a fishing pole in hand. But, after any busy day, Tony looks forward to playing with his miniature bull terrier, Axl, and his scaly “not so little girl” Petunia the Tegu Lizard who remind him of the important things in life.
