Many thought that Anthony wouldn't make it out of Casa Blanca, California with all of the trials and tribulations he faced as a child. He was one of six children growing up in a home where his mother was abused, for most of his life, by his stepfather, along with his siblings.

 

From living on the streets off and on, to become an alcoholic as a 13-year-old to cope with his pain, Anthony’s life was a living nightmare. ​Because of the kindness of strangers of different nationalities and backgrounds, Anthony was able to turn his life around, pursue his dreams, and grow closer to God.

 

Those experiences of being helped by all of these people influenced him in such a powerful way and led to the birth of his book series, The SandBox Kidz.
