In this episode of House of Hammers, hosts Aaron Babicz ’93 and Chris Okoye ’14 sit down with Anthony Tomey ’99 — former Catholic Central and Eastern Michigan baseball standout, Detroit Tigers minor leaguer, and now co-founder of The Tomey Group, a powerhouse in hospitality and entrepreneurship.
Anthony shares his journey, reflecting on lessons in leadership, humility, and teamwork that have shaped his business philosophy. From growing one Jimmy John’s franchise into a thriving network of restaurants and ventures like 8 Mile Vodka, Born in Detroit Apparel, and Cedar Oaks Lakeside Resort, Anthony discusses what it means to lead from the ground up — being present, serving others, and staying rooted in faith and gratitude.
This is a conversation about building people before profits, staying hungry through success, and never forgetting where you came from. 🛠️
