About the Author: Changing the Struggle to a Journey "Sitting in "the hole" of an Iowa prison, with nothing but God, time, paper and pen available to me, I began a journey of self examination that led to my current destination." Anthony talks the talk and walks the walk daily as he strives to change the ghosts of his past into the vision of his future. His dynamic success story of change serves as a reality check for helping professions but more importantly as a beacon for those individuals immersed in the world of gangs and corruption. Born into poverty, Anthony found himself at the age of 9 gazing out his window at a world that offered what he believed to be his only choice for a better life. Fascinated by street culture, he dove into "The Game" and excelled as both a leader of individuals and of industry. But as so many before and after him have discovered, "The Game" is a cruel, consuming and unloving life. Anthony paid the consequences for that life, serving 3 prison terms for felony convictions in two states. Anthony's story comes full circle. Today he thrives as a proactive citizen and progressive activist for change. He is again taking his abilities to the streets, but this time those streets include mainstream America. Life beyond the wire fence... includes catching up on missed opportunities and precious memories not previously shared with his two children Anthony and Kara, of whom are both young adults and now able to share their futures with him.
