He taught himself to write while serving in the US Air Force. As a B-52 Bomber Crew Chief, h wrote for several military publications while flying around the world. He continued to write on a part-time basis as a hobby until 1988 when he studied creative writing at USL in Lafayette, Louisiana. His notoriety, however, comes from his artistic talent as he and his wife traveled the country selling his paintings and sculptures at conventions and other art shows. Writing became his creative passion since he met with the famed writer, Alex Haley, author of Roots. During the brief encounter they had, Mr. Haley told Tony to never stop writing. Tony was so impressed by the historical works of Mr. Haley, he committed to finish a fictional trilogy of the Sins of My Fathers and a body of story ideas, as a tribute to Mr. Haley's inspiration.
