Tony Fox

President/CEO

Tony was born in Germany on a U.S. military base. He moved back to the Toledo area when he was a kid, and since then he’s always considered Ohio home.

One of his first jobs while attending Lake High School was with a moving company. After working there for a short time, he realized our community needed a high-quality moving company, so he started his own while taking business classes at Owens Community College. After a few successful years, he sold his first company and founded MVM Moving and Storage.

Since then, he has been focused on taking care of customers, building a solid reputation in the industry, while focusing on business growth and development. As a small business owner he doesn’t get much downtime, but when he does, he always spends it outdoors, fishing on Lake Erie or with his friends and family.
