Meet Tony Cook
How long has he been a member?
12 years
Why did he join Rotary?
My wife had been (and still is) a member of the Skagit club. It was amazing to see all the good they did in the community and the fun they had. I believe strongly that it's important to give back and support one's community and this was a good opportunity to connect with and meet more like-minded people.
What company or organization does he work at right now? If retired, where did he last work?
My own accounting firm
How have you benefitted from being a member?
Learning more about what goes on in our community through programs. Building and maintaining relationships with wonderful people.
Any tips or advice for new members?
This advice applies to new and old/existing members...Connect with your fellow club members
What does he like most about being a member?
That I have something consistent in my life that ensures I'm thinking about opportunities to give back in my community. I think it can be very easy to have these opportunities slip by if we aren't intentional about doing so.
Who/what inspires him?
My Wife
What has been his biggest achievement?
Opening my own business.
What career advice does he live by? Who gave it to him?
Make others better and you will succeed. It's something of an amalgam of lots of different people I've worked with and for through the years, including playing on sports teams as I was growing up.
Future goals and aspirations for his life?
I want to stay healthy and fit.
How do you define success?
That I feel like I've left everything in which I've been involved better than I found it.
