Tony first discovered yoyoing through his sister, who already knew the basic tricks when he was still a baby. However, he truly became fascinated by yoyoing in 2010, when he saw his future SLUSNY teammates Zdeněk and Rob perform on the TV show Česko Slovensko má talent. His sister then took him to the 2010 Czech National YoYo Championship, where she gave him his very first yoyo – the Kickside by YoYoJam. Tony immediately fell in love with it, started training seriously, and already in 2012 got his first sponsor from Zdeněk and Robert with their brand Barely Legal.

In 2014, he joined the global giant YoYoFactory, before moving to the American brand SF YoYos in 2018 and later joining the elite Japanese team yoyorecreation in 2022. Today, he runs his own successful brand empathy, which he represents together with his closest friends, who are also his biggest inspiration.

Approximately two years after founding empathy, Bubi approached Tony with an offer to join the SLUSNY team. Tony did not hesitate for a second, as the people around SLUSNY were actually a big part of how he discovered yoyoing in the first place. What he values most about yoyoing is the amazing community and the rare opportunity to have friends all around the world. He is also fascinated by the endless creativity that yoyoing offers, although he feels that true originality is becoming increasingly rare in today’s scene.

Since he runs his own brand, yoyoing is a huge part of Tony’s everyday life. Outside of yoyoing, he enjoys photography, traveling, and he will never say no to great food.
