Tony D'Alessio

Tony was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. After 3 years in the US Army he attended NYU and graduated in the top 10% of his class with a degree in Civil Engineering, having served as Student Council President, President of the Chi Epsilon Civil Engineering Society, and member of Tau Beta Pi, all while working full time and attending classes at night. He met the love of his life, Jo Anne, another Civil Engineering student, at NYU, and they remain happily married to this day. After graduation, his employer, the worldwide engineering firm of Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), sent him and Jo Anne to Hawaii on a two year 'temporary' assignment that lasted 18 years, and then in 1986 relocated the family, now including sons David Kui and Daniel Olu, to Arizona. In Arizona, Tony was Project Manager of several major award winning, multi-million dollar freeway projects, and in recognition of his skills was promoted to Engineering Manager. He retired from engineering in 1999 and pursued his love of acting, taking classes at Community College and then the intensive program at South West Shakespeare Conservatory. He also wrote screenplays, including the short "Faded Flowers", and features "Fatal", and "Girl, Wired!" "Girl, Wired!" is now in Post Production and scheduled to be completed by May, 2018.
