He has over 15 years of experience working with youth in residential settings, fostering in his home, along with teaching in the public school system.  In addition to his heart for youth, Antonio loves music and received a Praise and Worship Leadership Degree in Bible College.  When he is not working, he enjoys traveling and sightseeing with his wife, Sharon Roshell, and also watching his favorite college sports team, University of Louisville.  When asked about his journey to founding Fuego Corporation, Antonio says, “Becoming a foster parent was supposed to be a short-term commitment, but that sparked a life-long passion to see children without homes placed with people who can provide the love and care needed.  "I’m so blessed to be able to impact the quality of life a child will experience. Although I have partnered with some great people, I have often found myself noticing the gap of cultural and racial diversity within human service leadership."  Fuego Corporation was birthed to bridge the gap with our many arms of services.  As the African proverb says, It takes a village to raise a child, and I believe taking the child out of the village is where much of the problem stems.  Fuego is here to bring a solution to the problem, so that all children in the human race can be placed in a village." At Fuego Corporation, we are committed to bringing an awareness to children who have been abused, neglected, or parent-less for any reason.
