Of Irish descent, Tony was born in a little cabin in the rural piney woods of Carroll County in the state of Georgia, attended public schools in Carrollton and Stone Mountain, and attended West Georgia College. Striking out alone for Texas and arriving out of gas but with $7.50 still in his pocket, he has since made his own way in life. He has lived and worked in five states and South America (and is currently living in Southeast Asia). He has traveled extensively in the West and Southwest, in Mexico and Canada, hunting, exploring, and researching historical Courthouse records. Early in life he sacked groceries as most young men do, served honorably in the U. S. Army, was an auxiliary police officer in Houston, and a wiper on an ocean-going freighter. He has worked in a printing office, an aircraft factory, managed a large motel with an exclusive nightclub, and was a heavy equipment operator as well as a journeyman tradesman and foreman who worked his way up in every trade involved in heavy engineering, petro-chemical, and multi-story high-rise building construction projects in Texas and South America. At Austin Tony married a Texas girl, and together they raised three children.

He became a Southern Baptist and served as a Deacon, Sunday School Superintendent, Teacher, and Youth Director. Tony rose to construction Project Superintendent, to tenure as Vice President of a large company. with projects also in South America where he was also an undercover Government Operative and unlicensed pilot during the time Castro's man Che Guevarra was agitating for the Communists. Later with the Texas State Building Commission, he was the Chief Construction Estimator and Legislative Advisor, co-authored the Texas Handicapped Accessibility law, was the Governor's State Coordinator and Team Leader for all declared disasters occurring in Texas and otherwise worked as an Architect/Engineer designing State buildings and facilities. Tony has been a partner in a construction inspection/estimating service, a real estate appraiser, bank Loan Officer, private construction consultant, developer of residential subdivisions, and built homes in his spare time. He has owned and operated a department store with auto repair and body shop, a sawmill, a suntan/fitness studio, two restaurants, an over-the-road trucking company, a snowmobile rental/touring business, a food catering business, and was a rancher/hunting guide/outfitter while living in Colorado.

BY BRYAN MALOTT. [Bryan passed away, so I continue]]: For the last 15 years I lived in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam. I dived into a culture diametrically opposed to my own to learn all about it, and poked my nose into remote places forbidden to such as I, with reckless abandon. Activities included helping Hmong refugees escape the communist regimes of Cambodia and Laos, and doing missionary work repairing remote Thai and Hill Tribe schools in the mountainous regions of northern Thailand. I have helped small group[s of Hmong refugees (our valued allies during the VN war, still fighting for their freedom) carry their equipment and belongings as they fled the pursuit of the Cambodian Army, at one time with mortar and artillery shells landing nearby. During this time I broke my leg while living among them. I helped established a Christian Boarding School for Hmong Children in Chaingkhum, and a Christian Church in Chaing Rai.
