Born on September 30, 1982, in the coastal town of Batroun, Lebanon, Antonio’s early years were shaped by a love of sports, a close-knit family, and a deep curiosity about the world. Though he excelled in athletics at his French school, life’s path took him to Germany, where he earned a mechanical engineering degree in acoustics—not out of passion, but out of respect for his family’s expectations. Five years in the automotive industry taught him discipline, but his heart wasn’t in it. The spark came from closer to home: inspired by his mother’s entrepreneurial spirit, Antonio felt the pull toward building something of his own.

In 2011, he took a leap—leaving behind the familiar and starting in Chicago a distribution business. The road wasn’t easy. New country, new industries, endless challenges—but what fueled him was something bigger: a fierce determination to provide for his daughter and create a future on his own terms. When doors closed, he built new ones—pivoting into roofing, insurance, business lending, and construction.

Through grit, persistence, and a hunger to learn, Antonio transformed setbacks into stepping stones. Today, he leads a thriving equity firm with a seven-figure portfolio, built on the principles he lives by: relentless dedication, self-belief, and the power of knowledge.

What truly sets Antonio apart is his blend of meticulous attention to detail with an artist’s eye for business. Every project reflects his high standards and passion for excellence. For Antonio, success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about turning vision into reality, overcoming the odds, and leaving a legacy that inspires others to do the same.
