In 2004, Tony was hired by Apple as a Mac Genius at the flagship Apple Store The Grove in Los Angeles. He left Apple in 2006 and now runs his own personal Mac support business.

Tony's latest project, is called "The Church of Mac". His "altar" ego, The Rev. Doctor Bobby Newton, Dr.M, is the spiritual leader and technological guide of The Church of Mac.

Dr. Bobby's mission for The Church of Mac is to spread the good news that salvation is available to all who accept Apple as their personal computing platform.

Tony's mission for The Church of Mac is to take an irreverent spin on the culture of Mac. It's a mash-up of Stephen Colbert, Dr. Michael Beckwith and The Onion. Additionally, TCOM offers Mac news, tips and other information. Sometimes.

When he feels like it, Dr. Bobby releases a new video "iPodcast" (as Dr. Bobby says, “It's 'iPodcasts', because leaving the “i” out of “podcast” is like putting an “x” in “Xmas”). These videos are now available on iTunes.

Tony is represented by Angel City Talent.
