Tony's Story
Okay here is a little about my life. After high school I ran a bit on the "Wild Side" (ya think) and lived life to the fullest. I traveled about, tried school, lived at the beach, drilled for oil, loved, laughed, started my own business and went to as many concerts as I could muster. That went on for about 4-years until I decided that maybe to old man was right, "It was time to start thinking about my future instead of just living in the moment". Then my uncle started in about "Roles and Goals"... What was a 24 old to do? I cut my hair, straightened up, and went to work for PG&E.
I was married at in 1987 and had my first child, Joey. I was working as a measurement and control technician and on the road all of the time traveling up and down the state of California. I added Breanna, Dylan and Garrett to the mix and came home on weekends to try to makeup for the time I was gone; however, after 7 years of this the wallet was getting fat, but the relationship was all but gone and we filed for divorce. During this time I was injured in an auto accident and something had to give... I decided it was time for a change.
I went back to school and finished my AA at Reedley College graduating in the top 5. I actually liked school (hard to believe for the guy voted "Least likely to be found in class".

What happened to the "Wild and Crazy Tony" you ask? I found him albeit he was a bit older than I last saw him; Rick Rocker saved me from myself and we lived many an adventure. I took a 2 month train trip across the USA during summer break and ended up in Florida staying with a good friend ;0). Then Mardi Gras in Louisiana and met some travelers from Australia who later came and stayed with me in California. I reciprocated this by going to Australia the next summer, but it turned out to be a bad situation and I ended up backpacking around the country for the next month staying in Youth Hostiles and meeting other worldly travelers. I met a pirate and sailed the Great Barrier Reef for a few weeks, went to New Zealand and was asked to stay aboard and help sail to the Americas. Man, I thought long and hard on this one, but came back to Kingsburg to raise my kids. I met Andrea in college and we later were married and had Chris, who is now 10. She likes both my serious side and my adventurous side and encourages our travels.
While in school I taught and Reedley College and College of the Sequoias to make ends meet. Upon graduation went back to work PG&E and am currently an investigator for our law department. I still see people from KHS (like my buds Bobby, Abe & Andy)and like to chat with people and enjoy finding out about my other classmates here and reading their stories... MAKE SURE YOU POST YOURS!
