Meet Tony

Tony brings more than 25 years in law enforcement experience starting as a reserve Deputy for Skamania County in 1997, but that is not where it truly started. He grew up listening to stories of veteran officers, including his father who served 24 years with Skamania County and retired as Sheriff. Those experiences inspired Tony from a young age to follow the same path of service. Protecting and serving isn’t just his profession- it’s who he is.

Tony is currently the Detective Sergeant with Klickitat County Sheriffs Office, but his service to Klickitat County began in 2008 when he joined the Bingen-White Salmon Police Department. He is dedicated to preserving the character and unique qualities of our diverse community.

He carries a deep sense of duty to the residents and visitors of Klickitat County, recognizing that they are our family, friends, and neighbors.

“This campaign isn’t about the politics- it’s about the people. It’s about making sure everyone in Klickitat County feels safe, heard, and respected.”

When not serving the community, Tony operates a small dump truck and excavating business. He enjoys working on cars, riding dirt bikes and spending time with his family.
