Hey everyone, well...I'm Tony for those who don't know me yet. I live in Chesterfield Township, Michigan (about 20 miles outside D-town). I am a Senior Designer for General Motors and I build mathmatical surface for all of GM's cars and trucks. I work closely with the Engineers at the Vehicle Engineering Center and with the Stylist's and Modelers in the Studios at Design Center. Basically...I take the clay surface and turn it into something real. I work on a system called 'Unigraphics' which is GM's primary CAD system. I was born in Detroit but grew up in the suburbs. Outside of cars my other interest is fishing. I am an avid pursuer of King Salmon on the Great Lakes and Musky on Lake St. Clair (the greatest sport fishing lake in the country...in my opinion, anyway). I own a 20 foot Trophy outfitted with downriggers and have competed in several tournaments. When I'm not doing that I'm either on the ice with some friends playing hockey or staring at my 2 and 7 off-suit at the poker table and deciding whether to bluff or not. I have 2 boys (3 and 5) and the rest of my time is spent with them. Or hiding from the wife.
