A Cultivated And Proven Leader
After moving across the country in the middle of High School and adapting and integrating with new challenges Tony decided that he wanted to buckle down and finish his pursuit of becoming an Eagle Scout.
During his senior year Tony worked hard along side normal school demands and maintaining his status as an honor student to lead his troop as the Senior Patrol Leader. He organized and executed his Eagle Service Leadership project in the Sequoia National Forest where he led teams of scouts to make trails available to the public by blazing trees and bucking fallen trees.
On July 10, 1987 Tony fulfilled all the requirements and officially became an Eagle Scout which has been the foundation for all his leadership, patriotism, faith and community service beliefs and activities.
Tony has gone on to hold executive and founding positions in various collegiate and social organizations and has continued to advanced his personal growth and leadership skills by frequently reading and listening to growth audios and attending growth seminars put on by Landmark Education, Stephen Covey, John C. Maxwell and World Wide Dreambuilders.

Tony publishes an article about the big questions surrounding AI and discusses such topics as the nature of AI, is it intelligent and does it have natural rights?
Scientific Publications
Tony has contributed to the scientific knowledge base of Computational Chemistry and Rational Drug Design through his work in crafting chemistry software and scientific algorithms to minimize hydrogen positions of proteins and protein-ligand complexes.
Protein structure is determined by X-ray Crystallography, a process which can identify positions of heavy atoms but not the hydrogen atoms which are essential for protein structure and energy computations.
By utilizing a Self-Consistent Mean Field Reduction algorithm to calculate energetically favorable hydrogen positions his work became foundational for his team. Because of this collaboration and contribution on multiple projects he is co-author with his team on several scientific publications:
