Tony Adamo
Communications & Media Specialist - Parks & RecreationCity of McKinney
Tony Adamo, the Parks & Recreation Department’s Communication & Media Specialist in McKinney, Texas, is like a digital Jedi with over 15 years of experience across four different local government roles. He’s been the maestro behind the scenes for Parks & Rec, a literary wizard at the public library, and a tour de force for a top conventions and visitors’ bureau in north Texas, expertly managing marketing, communications, event planning, and even the occasional crowd herding. He doesn’t don a Jedi robe just yet, but the force is strong with this one. Currently, he’s masterfully orchestrating digital communications, refining marketing programs, and tackling those ever-elusive “other duties as assigned.”
Tony’s journey is paved with achievements, including a Master of Arts in Emerging Communication from the University of Texas at Dallas and the esteemed title of Texas Destination Marketer from the Texas Association of CVBs. He humorously likens himself to a mix of Tom Haverford’s finesse and Andy Dwyer’s endearing goofiness, making him an all-around cool dude in the world of local government and pop culture references.
