A native of Central California and a graduate of Clovis High School, Tony Hoffman’s life has been defined by the highest peaks and the lowest valleys.

As a gifted athlete, Tony spent his high school years traveling the country racing BMX.

He achieved the status of a top-ranked amateur along with multiple contract endorsements.

Unfortunately, he started using alcohol, marijuana, prescription pain killers, and other drugs.

A downward spiral of addiction led him to commit armed robbery in 2004.

At his sentencing, Tony was given probation and the opportunity to achieve sobriety in lieu of prison.

However, he was not yet ready to make changes in his life, resulting in a probation violation, which landed him in prison in 2007.
