Tony Faggioli was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Southern California, where he majored in Public Administration and interned at The White House. After college, he transitioned to corporate America before deciding to start his own business. One day, he realized that nothing brought him anywhere near the amount of joy as the writing he did from grade school all the way through high school. So, at age 35, he returned to school and rekindled his passion. He's now written four novels and begun his fifth. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.
