About Tony Gorga

Tony is a market research professional by day and a style writer by night. He also enjoys working out, craft beer and spending time with his wife, daughter, and dog.

Background: Author and menswear enthusiasts, Tony graduated Cum Laude from Albion College with degrees in Political Science and Philosophy. He went on to earn an MPA from the University of Pittsburg before making a career for himself in the D.C. management consulting scene.

Along the way, Tony developed a strong interest in menswear. Often dressing up for work, Tony walks the walk in a way that many menswear "influencers" cannot.

Expertise: Tony has written about menswear and lifestyle topics for online publications like Ask Andy About Clothes and He Spoke Style. He's worked with a range of popular brands, from DTC companies like Thursday Boots and The Tie Bar, to mainstream players like Bonobos and Banana Republic.

Tony's background as a business analyst allows him to assess brands from multiple angles (aesthetics, business model, value), which is why he's one of TMM's most trusted reviewers.
