Feeling overwhelmed, He struggled with the desire to fit in. At one point in his teens, he faced depression and thoughts of suicide.All this changed on his18th Birthday when he faced death & experienced a life-altering out of body experience after having a massive car accident. He soon realized and appreciated his gift, with his new God-given gift of a "new life." Tony decided shortly thereafter that he wasgoing to experience everything that life had to offer as he nearly died without having lived, if he were going to die tomorrow, he would live today.
