Hello. My name is Tony Cantu, and I cover the Austin region for Patch -- including the outlying communities of Cedar Park, Leander, Pflugerville and Round Rock, I started my career at the San Antonio Light before an expanded internship at the Wall Street Journal inspired me to pursue business writing for many years at such publications as the San Antonio Business Journal, Dallas Business Journal, Hispanic Business and others. I've also written for the Austin Chronicle, San Antonio Current, Hispanic, and other publications. Please don't hesitate to reach me with any story ideas, tips, comments, or, yes, even complaints.
