More About Tony:

“I am married to Rev. Katie Sundermeier and we have two children, Jonny and Luke. I love to cook, play golf, coach basketball, and shamelessly root for all the professional sports teams from Philadelphia. I am the Chair of the Board of Trustees for Presbyterian Homes of Georgia, and I am on the boards of Columbia Theological Seminary, Midtown Alliance, and The Piedmont Park Conservancy. I also serve the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta as a member of the Personnel Committee.”
