Tony believes that what sets apart from other companies is that we feel and operate like a family. He says, “It’s not a normal job; we take a deep personal interest in each other and look out for one another. We take care of the business like it’s our company and our money.”

Tony strongly feels that customers believe in MCG because we are a unique company who is good at problem solving. And, truth be told, Tony is the man behind the scenes meticulously planning so that our teams can put quality work into place.

He also feels tremendous pride in his son Brayden, who just finished up his duty in the Marines and works on power lines in North Carolina, where he lives with his wife and two daughters.
