While serving our nation for over 18 years as an US Army Officer, Anthonnie took on single parent responsibilities five years ago raising his 12-year old son while maintaining an active long-distance relationship with his nine year old daughter. Through this journey, Anthonnie encountered other men who obtained custody of their children, those fighting for custody, and those who lost hope of spending time with their child due to a strained co-parenting relationship. He learned many things through these relationships, but nothing was more pressing than the counseling tools that are critical for children. He also learned being an active parent with a child in a different state is challenging, but love and persistence make the difference. Anthonnie is joining the world of published authors with the intent of telling his story, equipping and encouraging other single dads to fight to be in their children's lives, and challenge single mothers to foster a respectable co-parenting relationship for the betterment of the children.
