Biography

Originally from San Antonio, Tony Perez now calls San Diego home. Tony is a Vietnam War Veteran who didn’t play golf until he met his wife, Susan, who introduced him to the game. Needless to say, he was hooked and now, loves to share his passion of golf with other veterans who may be struggling after coming home from being deployed. Tony is a central figure in every lesson and has become a mentor to many of the vets he helps coach. In his famous words, It’s always “game on!”



Perez understands the challenges of returning from combat. After retiring from his professional career, he focused on giving back to the military community by using golf as a tool for healing. His own love for golf, combined with his passion for supporting veterans, led him to start Operation Game On in 2008.



Operation Game On is a charitable organization dedicated to helping combat-injured veterans and active-duty military personnel reintegrate into civilian life through golf. The program was established with the aim of providing a therapeutic and enjoyable outlet for wounded warriors, helping them physically, mentally, and emotionally recover from the traumas of war.
