I currently live in Scottsdale, Arizona. If you happen to abhor the taste of Starbucks like I do, let’s grab a real coffee somewhere over the weekend.

I didn’t want that to be the case for me. So, here is a little about me and some of the past creative work I’ve done.
Currently, I’m the director of video marketing at a company called Nextiva. It’s a great place, you should check it out.
Most notably though, I’m a proud husband, father of three wonderful kids, and battle-tested storyteller.
We bribed them.
Well, video has been a decently big chunk of my life. I started with making videos on my parents’ Hi-8 camera as a young kid, got my friends into it in high school, and ultimately got my BFA from a film school out in California. Since then, I’ve written, directed, produced, and pulled just about every job on set for both narrative and commercial videos. Check out some of my prouder work here.
Also, I love marketing. It’s a rich playground for stories to be created and shared with an audience who will quickly tell you if you’ve earned their attention or were scrolled along without further thought. Engaging that audience with the right messaging, the right creative, the right calls to action, and all at the right time is a dance I thoroughly enjoy choreographing.
Lastly, that “battle-tested storyteller” part from earlier wasn’t just a cute line. I’ve told countless stories under insane deadlines with shockingly impressive results. Whether it’s filming, writing, presenting, photographing, graphically designing, and most other creative, digital forms of human expression, I’ve likely done it. If you’re in need of a storyteller, look no further.
Narrator: It was in that moment the reader decided not to look further, for there was no need.
My LinkedIn is the most up-to-date. You might find me elsewhere, but I’m not much of a social media guy.
Additionally, you can check out my video and photo work on this site.
While that was briefly true circa 1998, you may be looking for the other Tony Calvis (my dad, Tony Sr.). If so, here’s the site you need.
Well, you as the hero of our story have come to the inciting incident— you’ve learned all about me and now are presented a choice: connect with Tony as he offers below, or continue the stalking as a stranger.
Okay, you could do a million other things before reaching out, it’s fine. But when you do want to connect, I’d love to meet you!
Until then, take it easy.
