The Affinity Five Team

Tony Caico

Owner and Founder

Graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Business Administration.  He started his professional business career in the automotive services industry in 1992 and was quickly elevated to a VP/Division Manager role. He was responsible for forty-five retail stores (and over 200 employees) on the west coast of Florida.  That’s also when his recruiting career began; and Caicos’ been recruiting and placing quality talent ever since.

After five successful years in the retail automotive industry, he was recruited by the California upstart company IndyMac Bank to help grow their east coast presence in the mortgage banking space. Tony Caico rapidly rose to the management level. He parlayed his recruiting, sales management, and leadership skills to help start three very successful mortgage banking endeavors.  In addition to helping IndyMac Bank with its early expansion, he was instrumental in the startup endeavors for both the Royal Bank of Canada (2002) and Citigroup (2004). Tony was elevated to Director of Sales for Citigroup’s Home Equity Division in 2004 and built a sales team from eight employees to over two hundred. He was responsible for over $7BB per year in mortgage loan production.

Due to the widely published trials in the mortgage banking industry, Tony Caico exited the financial services space to become a certified professional coach, business consultant, and published author.  His first writing project; My Back Nine was released in 2011. His second book, Restoration by Water’s Edge is set to be published in 2018.
