Anthony's Story
Hello Everyone,
After leaving high school I moved to Atlanta, GA, attended and graduated from DeVry Institute of Technology as an Electronic Technician. From there, I moved and worked for Texas Instrument in Temple, TX for a couple of years before joining the Navy in 19981.
While in the Navy I travel to several countries; Japan, The Philippine Island, Guam, Guantanamo Cuba, (GITMO) and was station in Hawaii for about three years. My time in the Navy was spent mostly in Communication and Quality Assurance. I moved back to the states in 1984 and was Honorable discharged from Military service in 1994 while at my last duty station located in Virginia Beach, VA.
A few years later I moved back to Atlanta, GA for another couple of years and attended Floyd College and acquired an AS in Accounting. After moving yet again to Jacksonville, FL, I went back to school, attended the University of Phoenix and obtained a BS Degree in Accounting. Worked at nearly every level there is in the Accounting and Tax field before establishing a home base business where I currently resided in Jacksonville, FL.
I always wanted to be a Fighter Pilot when I grew up. I think my family and friends ideal of it if known; they may have thought that I was a in the moment (GI Joe). As it turns out, they would have been right.

The wildest thing I recall I ever did in school was not going doing my Freshman year at Riverview High School. I recall missing at least 60 if not more of 180 days of the school term, extremely wild for me at the time.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have quite a bit of independence, income opportunity and be in some form of Sales to be able to deal with the day-to-day operation.
Do I have a hero? Yes,
My father here's a man whom to the best of my knowledge with only an eight grade education. Became one of the greatest chiefs I have ever known, open up his own restaurant, understood and taught his kids culture and instilled in me my entrepreneur sprit. What a man, what a dad, I will always love, cherish and miss him.
Although it's often said, life doesn't always turn out the way we expect it to. What has been my biggest surprise is that's not necessarily true, short of some unfortunate accident or health condition. I share this humble belief based on most individuals I have come to know are the product of habits developed and maintain resulting from their Association, Assimilation and Participation.
For example, be it our Health or Spiritual Idealism, Mental Capacity or Economical Condition most are develop and maintain base on our perceptions formulated from such factors. In short, if you want to change any condition, i.e. be a pilot, do what pilots do.
