No single word can describe Tony Marino. He's an entrepreneur, author, business consultant, radio personality and motivational speaker. Tony is a successful international online marketing consultant who has helped his clients generate millions of dollars through successful and innovative marketing techniques. He has also created several new and innovative products and services to assist both online and offline businesses worldwide.
But those words just describe what he does, they don't tell you who he is. Tony Marino is highly motivated, engaging and a straight shooter.
Tony grew up in Southern California, the son of an Italian restaurant owner. Some of his earliest memories are of grating cheese and folding pizza boxes for his father. From an early age, business was in his blood. After high school, Tony joined the Navy, serving for three years active duty and completing his service working with the Naval Investigative Service.
His post-Navy career began the formation of his professional life in the areas of marketing and broadcasting. After attending broadcasting school he got his radio start in Bakersfield spinning classic rock tracks. Radio would eventually take him around the country as he worked in major markets such San Diego and Palm Springs. It was in Palm Springs that he teamed as both on-air talent and Promotions Director with a morning show for an upcoming comic named Jimmy Kimmel, who today is ABC-TV's late night talk show host.
Tony branched out from just on-air and producing work and began doing voice work for both radio and television. He also started his on TV production company which created a one-hour show highlighting the Palm Springs area. Later, Tony began working more in marketing, helping entrepreneurs improve their bottom line and grow their business.
Searching for a place to put down roots, Tony sold the TV company and migrated north to Oregon in 1995. It is here that his Tigard-based company, America Web Works, really took off. Tony has served clients both large and small in over 80 countries worldwide. Clients like, Nightingale-Conant, Herbalife International, Sony Pictures, WeXL Financial and Microsoft. He's also served as a corporate trainer for companies like American Honda and Ford. His books on how to market on the web have helped countless companies prosper in the internet age.
Oregon's natural beauty compliment Tony's non-work hobbies and passions. He is a hunter, fisherman and enjoys boating. He's been a motorcycle rider his entire life and finds solace in traveling Oregon on his Harley Davidson. A musician, Tony learned guitar at age five and today plays many instruments and counts songwriting as one of his favorite pastimes. Tony also has a passion for the culinary arts as he makes his way around the kitchen.
Danielle, Tony's wife, is an aide to special needs students at C. F. Tigard Elementary school in Tigard. They have two kids, Matt a 14-year-old who attends Twality Middle School, and Isabella a 9-year-old at Mary Woodward.
Responsibility, both personal and corporate, is a watchword for Tony. As he puts it, "When you win it is your fault, just as when you lose. That's your fault too! We all must be accountable and take responsibility for both our good and not so good actions."
