Today he is a Personal CFO to professional athletes and the creator of the Wealth Authority Framework, a decision-making system built for careers that pay everything in a few years and ask it to last fifty.

Personal CFOTo professional athletes

What he does for athletes

Everyone has a job. No one has the whole picture.

An athlete's financial life fills up fast. An agent negotiating the contract. An accountant filing in multiple states. An attorney reviewing the deal. An advisor managing the portfolio. An insurance professional covering the risk.

Each one is doing their own job well. None of them is responsible for how the decisions fit together, what happens next, or who follows through.

That is the role of the Personal CFO — one seat accountable for the whole financial life, and for helping the athlete decide across all of it.

Coordinates the whole teamAgent, accountant, attorney, advisor, insurance — talking to each other, on one plan.
Builds around a short earning windowCash flow designed for income that arrives in a few years, not forty.
Owns the follow-throughDocuments signed, beneficiaries updated, deadlines met — the work that quietly goes undone.
Prepares the transition earlyLife after the last game, planned while the income is still arriving.

In the room

Wealth Authority — Athletes, University at Albany men's basketball.

He takes this into locker rooms, not conference rooms.

Antonio delivers the Wealth Authority session directly to teams, working through the decisions athletes face in the order they actually face them — before the first check, during the earning years, and after the last game.

Plain language, real decisions, and a clear next step. Built for a room of athletes, not a room of advisors.

Clarity → Structure → Execution

Confidence is the outcome, not a stage.
