Tony began independent consulting in the field of human and organizational performance in 2007, helping managers of industrial organizations manage the operational risks associated with human performance. Tony authored following two books (published by Routledge and CRC Press, respectively):
- Risk-Based Thinking: Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations (2018)
- Critical Steps: Managing What Must Go Right in High-Risk Operations (2022) (co-authored with Jim Marinus and Ron Farris)
After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1975, Tony served 7 years in the U.S. Navy Submarine Service, where he qualified in submarines and certified as “engineer of naval nuclear propulsion systems.” After resigning from the Navy, Tony trained nuclear control room operators at a commercial electric utility for 3 years.
Between 1985 and 2007, while employed by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), Tony developed and conducted the
Human Performance Fundamentals Course (1997-2007) and authored several industry publications on human performance, including
Excellence in Human Performance (1997),
Human Performance Tools for Workers, and the
Human Performance Reference Manual (both 2006) among others. The U.S. Department of Energy adopted the latter as its
Human Performance Improvement Handbook (Vol. I and II) in 2009.
