As founder and president of Ranchers Management Company, Tony managed ranch properties and consulted for individual ranches in the western United States for nearly twenty years.
Tony owned and operated Twin Creek Ranch, south of Lander, Wyoming, for 31 years. It was one of the first in the West to develop a ranch-recreation program where guests participate in the real ranch experience. The agritourism lodge hosted ranch experience activities, country cuisine dinners featuring ranch-raised foods, and gatherings for educational seminars, company meetings, and family reunions. Economic diversification included Beyond Organic Beef, which markets grass finished beef.

He has been to Africa and Argentina studying brittle environments in other parts of the world to better manage resources in the western United States. He attributes his successes to making decisions toward his holisticgoal.
Tony and his wife, Andrea, sold their Wyoming ranch in 2009. They used the Holistic Decision Making Framework in selecting northeastern Oregon and now ranch in Union county Oregon.
