Tony's father, brother and sister. Tony was a newborn baby at the time.

LM: Please tell me what is your driving force and passion that makes you excel in various different sectors. You seem to be in the press on a diverse amount of subjects and you've been on the cover of various magazines..

TS: We all want to make our mark in the world and leave footprints so that we can be remembered. At the moment I'm writing from the Versace hotel in Dubai, one of my best friends and mentors owns it. He said to me a few months back. Why don't you move to Dubai, give it a few years and I assure you, you have the potential to be well on your way to becoming a Billionare! But... I don't want to be a Billionare, I don't want to dedicate years of my life focusing on expanding my security business and becoming the largest private military company on the planet, to a point where it completely consumes my life. I need accomplishment but I also need diversity. Yes Lori, im in the press relatively often and a friend pointed out to me in London a few days ago how diverse the press is, he was laughing about tabloid press he saw on Page 6 in the NY Post on Christmas and New Year that just passed, linking me to a Russian supermodel, which was quite funny as we hadn't even met, yet we were romantically linked. But when you Iook at the covers of magazines I've been on, the first was for efforts against human trafficking, the second was The Sheriff magazine, regarding narco-terrorism, the third was FBI's Infraguard magazine that did a biographical piece on me, the fourth was the cover of a karate magazine that I read as a kid, the fifth..., you get my drift, diversity. I find it necessary and the way I like to live my life. Maybe soon I'll be on MilliOnAir's cover.

Tony's first magazine cover regarding fighting human trafficking in Eastern Europe.
