Semper Fidelis: From Marine to the Gridiron, One of L.A.'s finest

Welcome to Whistle Talk, the podcast where we blow the lid off the world of sports officiating! I'm thrilled to be joined today by a true veteran of the field, Tony DeVeres. Hailing from California, Tony brings a remarkable 24 years of experience in officiating, with 7 of those years served as a crew chief in the CFOA South Bay chapter. But that's not all – before his illustrious officiating career, Tony dedicated 12 years of his life to serving in the US Marine Corps. Today, he not only continues his service on the field but also as the current president of the South Bay chapter. Join us as we dive into Tony's journey, insights, and the unique perspective he brings to the world of officiating. For more information or if you are interested in becoming an official in the Los Angeles area, please email Tony at [email protected] Thank you for tuning in to another episode of Whistle Talk, where we unravel the fascinating world of football officiating.
