Early Life, Parents, and Education

Born to English parents, Tony actually grew up in a small town of Burgwerd in the Friesland province. His father ran the family farm before a debilitating event left him incapable of doing his job, Tony assumed his position. He became a natural leader from an early age, which he only nurtured and continued into his adulthood.

The beginning of a Gold Mining Career

Although he was quite successful as a farmer in Netherlands, he wasn’t sure the future would be as successful, and he decided to move to Canada in 1980. He found a place for himself near Salmon Arm, where he started a dairy farm. However, just a couple of months later he heard of a new craze in Yukon, where miners could earn over $1,000 per week. He bought a ticket to the city of Whitehorse in Yukon, but was too early for a mining season, but he confirmed the story and decided to return to Yukon once the gold mining season begins. He sold machines needed for the dairy farm, and bought oil pipes which helped him in his gold mining career.

Rise to Prominence

A natural leader, Tony didn’t spend much time working for others; in 1984 he moved to Dawson City, where he started his own gold-mining company and hired others to work for him. It was sooner rather than later that Tony came into possession of the Tamarack Mines and later Paradise Hills. He has provided employment for a number of people, but also included his family, of which we will speak later. As Tony’s business improved, his wealth also soared and his popularity would reach new heights. With the success of his mining company, Tony was noticed by the producers of the reality program “Gold Rush”, which airs on the Discovery Channel since 2010, and was approached by the producers with an offer to join the show in its second season.
