Dr. Tony Guerra works in Baltimore as a community pharmacist for CVS, Realtor ® for RE/MAX, test prep teacher for Kaplan and as an assistant track and field coach for Seton Keough High School. He’s presented to audiences at colleges, businesses, senior centers and various organizations from the Baltimore Junior Association of Commerce to the YMCA on varied topics from work/life balance to working by referral to financial freedom. Tony, modeling his parent’s example, has spent a lifetime volunteering. From mentorship to leadership to fundraising Tony has given back to many, many groups. As a mentor, Tony volunteers in Junior Achievement, is a Toastmaster and sits on the Greater Baltimore Board of Realtors education committee. As a leader, Tony directs a small group within his business coaching ranks as a Peak Performer; he has organized the most successfully attended alumni reunion as chair of the pharmacy school’s reunion committee; and he works with the Pharmacy Leadership and Education Institute as a facilitator. As a fundraiser, Tony has developed sales for non-profits that have lasted far beyond his tenure as a student or employee. At the school of pharmacy alone his pharmacy fraternity ranks as one of the top 5 nationally in fundraising- not only for themselves but for the charities they support including the Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital. In addition, Tony enjoys travelling with his wife Mindy, running competitively in 5K races and half-marathons and playing broomball and softball as part of the Baltimore Sports and Social Club.
