Born in the city of Athens, Texas, Antonio began his interest in soccer at the age of 10.  He played throughout his childhood and into his high school career.  From there, the game of soccer brought him to Newman University where he played from 2000-2003.  Some of the accomplishments during his time at Newman University include participating in the final eight at the 2000-2001 NAIA National Tournament, a Region championship, and two conference championships.  Following his collegiate career, Antonio was given the chance to train and participate in a couple of professional matches with Los Peces Blancos de Patzcuaro, a professional team in Mexico.  He later returned to the United States and began coaching for his hometown high school for the women’s and men’s program and worked camps such as Tatu’s All Star camp housed in Athens, Texas.  Antonio is currently coaching youth soccer in Wichita.
