In high school, he began his BMX career as a top-ranked amateur with several endorsements. Tony is a native of Clovis, California, where he attended Clovis High School. By his senior year, he had begun using marijuana, alcohol, and prescription medicines like Vicodin and Oxycontin. At such a young age, he developed an addiction and lost everything. Tony committed an armed home invasion robbery in 2004 and was finally sentenced to two years in jail in 2007. Tony had broken the terms of his probation and is aware of the extent of addiction as well as the sorrow that addicts experience because he continued to use while being threatened with a ten-year jail sentence.
