Tony Maas has dedicated his life to building and leading J.T.M. Food Group, a family-owned business founded in 1980. Starting in the 1960s with Maas Brothers Meats, the company evolved into a nationally recognized food manufacturer. Under Tony’s leadership, JTM has grown from $8 million in annual sales to over $410 million in 2025. His vision drove major expansions earning him the Carl H. Lindner Award for Entrepreneurship & Civic Duty.
Rooted in Catholic values passed down through generations, Tony integrates faith into his personal life and business practices. J.T.M. openly acknowledges its Catholic identity, tithes company profits to ministries, and supports initiatives like Ruah Woods Institute, which Tony founded to promote Theology of the Body education.
