The Split Second That Changed Everything
The moment that would redefine his life.
Anthony allowed peer pressure from a relative and fellow officers to guide his course of thinking. As the result of a split-second decision and a bad choice, he hit rock bottom—and lost everything that was dear to him and everything he had worked so hard to obtain.
It was in this moment of complete loss that Anthony reconnected to his faith and allowed God to refurbish his life.
A New Purpose
Out of the ashes of his old life, a new calling emerged. Today, Anthony is a sought-after speaker and trainer who has spent over 25 years motivating, mentoring, and inspiring youth, teens, and young adults on the topics of negative peer pressure and making right choices.
His powerful story has been featured on CBN 700 Club and other televised shows.
Living the Mission
Anthony doesn’t just speak about transformation—he lives it out weekly:
-
He volunteers at the youth detention center, developing and coordinating programs that prepare youth for independent living, life skills mastery, and social and character development.
-
He volunteers at a homeless shelter, praying with individuals, sharing biblical principles, and encouraging those experiencing tough times.
-
As an Adjunct Instructor, he conducts Ethics and Responsibility training for law enforcement, correction, and probation officers.
