My mission is simple and has one focus: to serve God and be an instrument of God’s love and light. Whether it is by Initiating a global movement for radical change, or helping a single teenager find their way. Whether it is opening my home for live celebrations of the arts and conversation, or using the internet to spread art and knowledge. Whether it is my own performances and artistic creations, or providing opportunities for a single child or family to lift themselves out of poverty, Whether it is conducting programs for young people to discover and cultivate their spiritual nature, or initiating ways for people of all ages to come together in love.

I invite you join in my adventures as we transform life on this planet, one person, one gathering at a time, all the while having as much fun as possible.

Current Projects

Hope for the Children
Tony is the founder and director of Hope for the Children Foundation, which works for justice by providing opportunity and relief in the poorest countries in the world and in the United States. His primary focus is the empowering of youth. All the funds from any of Tony’s programs go directly to the children and families in the Foundation’s projects. Hope for the Children Foundation sponsors economic empowerment, disaster relief, youth leadership training, and educational programs always at the grassroots level.

“Let us go about our lives in such a way so as to give Hope for the Children”

The Civilization of Love
Tony is spearheading a global movement to shift national and international policies and practices to be governed by the law of love; love defined as working for the well-being and development of others as hard as we do for ourselves.
While dreamed of and hoped for by people everywhere throughout human history, this is a new voice that says our collective lives should be governed by the same highest principles that we personally aspire to. When implemented we have a totally new way of conducting human affairs that would significantly change the way we live on this planet for the better.

While Tony’s book “The Civilization of Love” lays out the need for and foundation of the movement, his website provides a place for like-minded people in every country on earth to connect and come together to form action groups and political parties.

“We’ve tried the law of the jungle, an age of reason, an information age. It’s time to build a Civilization of Love.”

The Conversation Place
Starting in March 2017 Tony opens his home in Queens Village NYC as a safe place where neighbors and friends can come together to get to know each other and have conversations about news in the world, nation and neighborhood. In a time where people just don’t talk with each other anymore, “The Conversation Place” exists to facilitate much-needed communication and understanding It is a response to the growing isolation in our American society as well the increased practice of demonizing others who think and believe differently. Monthly sessions are facilitated to insure a civil atmosphere as people share their thoughts and experiences. This is a model for a movement where every community in America might have Conversation Places. The website exists as a place where meetings can be listed and people connected.

Tony is the founder and director of “The Vault” an underground art and performance venue in Queens Village, New York City that rejects the business model for creative expression.

Poets, actors, singer-songwriters, comics, musicians, bands, spoken-word and performance artists are all invited. The Vault also includes an art gallery.

East Timor Arts Society
The East Timor Arts Society was established to showcase the beautiful artistic capabilities of the citizens of Timor-Leste (EastTimor). Without such artistic venues, much of the local artistic creations would go unseen, never having been able to portray their beauty or tell their story. Every artistic work on display at The East Timor Arts Society tells a unique story of the people of East Timor. Stories that envelop their hopes, their dreams, their fears, and their despair. A testament to their heritage of both past and future. We invite you to visit our gallery and experience for yourself the amazing artistry that awaits.
