 TJ has over 25 years’ experience buying thousands acres of land, building thousands of homes, and developing dozens of communities across Ontario.  TJ, brother Ernie, and sister Elem were born into a ‘real estate and construction’ family founded by their father, Tony Sr. who arrived from Italy in 1957 at age 16. He learned to drywall for the housing industry, and seven years later he founded Torino Drywall, which he quickly grew into one of Canada’s largest trades. Tony Sr. also began purchasing farm land to eventually develop both homes and industrial buildings, which became Country Homes and Tonlu Properties. In 2017, the family created the Rinomato Group of Companies to showcase its integrated business approach comprised of Country Homes, Torino Drywall, and Tonlu Properties.   All three siblings contribute to the growth and success of this family business.
