 Tony is a native of Sheboygan, Wisconsin and was educated at Northeastern Illinois University where he obtained first, a Bachelor of Science in Geography, followed by an advanced study toward a Masters Degree in Earth Science with a track in Ground Water Resources.
His entire professional career has been spent in the government arena starting with the Northeastern Illinois Regional Planning Commission in Chicago, followed by a position with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region V, prior to taking the job as public works director here in Maitland.
Career wise, "the dedication and productivity of the men and women employed by Maitland, especially those in the Public Works Department," is what motivates him day in and day out. Success is measured by task completion and he wants most to be remembered as someone who always gave his best and was known for giving you a "straight" answer. An accomplishment still left to fulfill is building his Public Works team into the best it can be. The most enjoyable part of Mr. Leffin's career is the pride his staff takes in completing an especially difficult task. The motto or credo Tony lives by is, "he profits most who serves the best."
Tony and his wife Sue have one son, Matthew 20. In May 2003, Tony was
named a "Top Ten Public Works Leader of the Year".
