Tony was born when free-range kids came home when the street lights turned on, raised during the racial tensions and antiwar demonstrations of the sixties, and forged into the brilliant and kind person I am today (per my wife) by 73 years (and counting) in the crucible of ups and downs of life. I have been married for 39 years (so far) to my wonderful wife, Donna. I've had dozens of jobs ranging from Sergeant in the Marine Corps to motorcycle salesman, lineman, truck driver, electrician, railroad worker, avionics crew chief, telecommunications engineer, call center manager, computer support manager, hobby farm blacksmith, energy auditor, building inspector, and for about 30 years, senior IT Project Manager.With my wife, Donna, I raised our blended family of 4 children, who range from 55 to 43 years old. They, in turn, have given us 5 grandchildren, and we just welcomed our first great-grandchild. I'm a committed lifelong learner, martial arts instructor, guitarist, and writer. My previous book, A Concise Guide to Better Decisions, is still in print. I'm retired, although I'm still busy writing my blog, "My Perspective," on SubStack, target shooting, and reading voraciously. I develop AI prompts and maintain an AI prompt library for educators.al.
