  As he looks back, this successful entrepreneur realizes the greatest fortune of his life came out of very unfortunate circumstances.As an infant, Tony was left in the care of Catholic Charities because his parents felt they could not adequately provide for a second child.
  ...
  From there, Tony worked long hours making his way up from the showroom to the boardroom.His vision and drive propelled him to the upper echelons of urban fashion as the co-founder of the popular Mecca and ENYCE clothing lines.
  
  Today, this masterful marketing executive is regarded as an influential hip-hop trendsetter and fashion innovator.Tony has a flair for developing lifestyle brands that engender a loyal following.In 2004, Black Enterprise magazine chronicled Tony's motivational story as one of their profiles in courage.In 2005, Liz Claiborne, Inc. purchased ENYCE for $114 million.Recently, Tony launched the highly anticipated Parish Clothing, which is expected in stores in early 2007.

  "I'm not sure where I would be today without their encouragement.I beat the odds, but there are thousands of young people in foster care right now who don't have that kind of support."
  
  Several studies show that as young adults, former foster youth are more likely than their peers to face unemployment, homelessness and other adverse situations.As a spokesperson for National Foster Care Month and Casey Family Programs, Tony is a tireless advocate for these vulnerable youth.He is especially focused on providing career mentoring, job skills training and employment opportunities for older youth in foster care.
