About Antonio
For the past 12 years, I have proudly served on the rehabilitation team at the New York State Veteran’s Home at Montrose, FDR VA Campus, working as a licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant.
My dedication to supporting fellow veterans has been a cornerstone of my career and personal life. Inspired by the sacrifice of our servicemen and women, a powerful message on my hoodie—"Live a life worth their sacrifice"—motivates me daily. This sentiment drives my commitment to helping veterans and anyone in need of a Battle Buddy on their journey to better health and wellness.
Recently, I expanded my expertise by becoming certified as a Personal Trainer (CPT) and Virtual Coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). This certification allows me to offer comprehensive support, both in-person and online, to individuals striving to improve their physical health and overall well-being.
Upon learning about charity athletes who compete to raise funds for various causes, I felt a strong calling to participate in this inspiring endeavor. I am excited to combine my passion for fitness and my dedication to supporting veterans by competing as a charity athlete. Your generous donations will support not only my participation in these events but also the vital programs and services that aid veterans on their journey to recovery and wellness.
Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and will make a significant impact.
Thank you for joining me in this mission to honor and support our heroes.
