Tony Vann, grew up in Denver, Colorado, moved to Plano, Texas and finally landed in Oklahoma in 1989. Educated as a political scientist, he has always been an early-adopter of technology including bulletin board systems (BBS), online marketing places and website development. His mentor was a rural Oklahoma newspaper publisher who taught him "the ropes" of both journalism and public relations. He has since honed his craft over the past three decades working for high-profile organizations and companies. In his free time, he roots for the ever-disappointing Denver Broncos, the Chicago White Sox and the National Champion Oklahoma Sooners! An aviation nut, he loves going to air shows and anything having to do with aerospace! He too loves to crack jokes, laugh and make those around him laugh. He is a bit of a culinarian and can often be found cooking, grilling and eating delights anywhere he travels.
