Tony McGinnis

I primarily follow baseball and football, but casually indulge in many others. My true sports passion is Dodgers baseball. Having grown up in Los Angeles with a retired grandfather with season tickets, it was love at first sight and a tradition that has been passed along to my kids.

I am still actively involved in playing sports. From competitive baseball (yes, actual baseball in an 18+ league), mountain biking, snowboarding, to golf – staying active and feeding my competitive nature helps keep me focused and healthy.

When I am not building and executing on strategic marketing plans for our clients, I love to be at home with my family spending quality time together. Whether it’s doing projects around the house, taking advantage of downtime, and watching a movie, or cooking on the smoker out by the pool – I value family time with my beautiful wife Erin, son Liam, daughter Abby, and chocolate lab Moose.

I know and can do enough to be dangerous, although it often requires several Home Depot and Lowe’s trips for a singular project. I have managed to limit the number of ER visits over the years to a reasonable figure. I see home projects in a similar way to many other things in life… it is all a work in progress and a ride and journey I enjoy being on, especially with a teammate or two.

While it was said in many ways (and many times) by my grandfather, he did more than just give me a nice sounding quote. He showed me that people will not always remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel. He was a master at this, and I often remind myself to try to live up to that standard by treating people the way I would like to be treated. Some call it the golden rule, I call it the foundation of every meaningful relationship, personal or professional. His example taught me the value of being respectful, kind, and genuinely present.
