Gallo, Anthony (Tony)

Education: Bachelor’s degree in business, Bowling Green State University

What Guides My Decision Making: I start with my gut feeling, but then I look at the relevant information and consult others for their input while considering all potential outcomes. I then make the best decision I can that doesn’t compromise my values. 

Favorite Quote: “Amor Fati” — Latin for “love of one’s fate.” It’s about accepting everything that happens, good or bad, and reframing adversity as an opportunity for growth and learning. 

If I Could Have Any Other Job: Honestly, my job at the chamber has been very fulfilling. But I could totally see myself as a game show host. Let’s be honest — it’s not that different some days! 

My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: Sales rep for Wimot Printing Co. in Elyria. The owner was a true mentor who taught me what giving back to the community was all about. I saw firsthand what small businesses do to survive and how they truly are the backbone of our economy. 

Hobby/Passion: Baseball, baseball and baseball. Did I mention baseball?
