Tony Boselli | Early Life & Education

Tony Boselli was born in Modesto, California, on April 17, 1972, to parents Tony Sr. and Candy Boselli. Unfortunately, his parents divorced while he was in junior high school.

In Modesto, Tony’s father worked as a sales agent. In 1974, he and his family relocated to Colorado so that his father and his uncle Bud Boselli could own McDonald’s restaurants.

As a result, Tony, Jr. was raised in Boulder, Colorado, along with his sister Jennifer and brother Michael Boselli.
