As a kid growing up in Bay Shore, New York we all lived in a small house. When I was 15 years old I transformed one of the bedrooms in my house into a gym.
On My 15th birthday, my sister Francine bought me a weight set. Then one week later around Christmas, I used my Christmas money to buy a bench to go with it.
And the rest is history! I still remember playing "ROCKY" music and hearing my mother
screaming at me because it was so loud! I still listen to my "Rocky" CD today, and feel right at home playing it nice and loud!
I got into Male Modeling at the age of 18, and continue to have a busy schedule this very day. I not
only compete as a male fitness model, I also compete in natural bodybuilding shows all over the country.
I also have appeared in many Films, TV shows, commercials, magazines, and catalogs. But what I am
most proud of is helping others achieve their goals. Whether its health, fitness, motivation, nutrition or well being, I love to encourage others to follow their dreams. I'm glad I found mine as a child. Today I'm married to my wonderful wife Tina who is my true love. I reside in NYC where I continue my modeling and television career. I'm also the owner of Tony's Fitness Studio in Ozone Park, NY.
Remember, follow your dreams and always have faith!
Trust in GOD, and believe in him for he will lead you to great things.
