My journey with safety and business continuity began in the early years of my career. When I was 25, my father was in a fatal construction accident that changed the trajectory of my mother’s life and mine. Reflecting, I sometimes wonder if the compliance business continuity solutions we offer today at HB NEXT were available back then; perhaps the conditions that led to the accident may have been prevented. As a founder of HB NEXT, the nation’s pioneer in Compliance as a Service “CaaS,” I believe that Safety, Stormwater Compliance and Business Continuity start at the top in organizations that promote worker safety. Today’s Leaders must require Business Continuity to be more than record keeping and documentation; the focus should be observing the behaviors and mitigating associated risks with proper training and ongoing coaching. As a serial entrepreneur, I started my first company at 19 and, many years later, launched my first successful technology company. The full circle moment for me happened when we developed and launched the proprietary SEQUENCE platform in 2005; I finally found a scalable way to digitize safety data, stormwater inspection data and business continuity. We continued to innovate, and today our SEQUENCE XT Platform enables companies to manage and mitigate OSHA, DOT, Stormwater, and operational compliance. This ensures worker safety, lowers insurance costs, and allows compliance managers to observe worker safety and provide coaching versus being bogged down in record-keeping and administrative tasks. HB NEXT has offices in Lawrenceville, Covington, Winder, and Alpharetta, GA; Jacksonville, Fl, Charleston, SC; and Charlotte, NC.Tony has been a serial entrepreneur his entire adult life where he started his first business while he was in high school, built his first custom home at age 20, became one the top sales professional in the computer industry at the age of 28, started his first internet software services company at age 35, spearheaded a project in Albania to raise the funds to build a teenage orphan center that houses young boys and girls that are living in government provided dorms that have no electricity and running water.
