The Road that Brought Us Here
Debra’s first priority is that of wife and mother, but she accepted outside work as circumstances in Tony’s employment and health changed. Debra has worked in office administration in the fields of real estate management, the corporate side of network marketing, and the funeral services industry.
Preferring to be a work-at-home-mom when ever possible, Debra has supplemented the family income through various Direct Sales and Network Marketing opportunities.
Debra discovered the Empower Network opportunity in the Spring of 2012. In December of that year, Debra became Mike Hobbs’ personal assistant.

Tony served two enlistments in the US Army from 1989 to 1996. The family lived in California twice, the country of Panama, and the state of Texas twice. In October of 1996, the family settled in Idaho Falls, Idaho where they presently reside.
Tony’s experience includes working as a Spanish speaker in sales and marketing on the corporate side of MLM, and as a purchasing and inventory control specialist for a high-end furniture manufacturer.
In 2008, as an extension of his love for carving and wood-working, he launched ToolBoxTony, LLC.
Tony is presently employed in purchasing and retail sales for a construction supply company. Tony is also pursuing an MBA/MS duel Master’s Degree in Business Administration and Leadership through Grand Canyon University.
Surviving Cancer
In 2006, Tony was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and underwent radiation to remove a large tumor on his neck.
In 2009, Tony was diagnosed with Leukemia (AML) and underwent intensive chemotherapy to save his life, followed by two-years of maintenance chemotherapy to reduce the chance of recurrence. Tony completed treatments in January of 2012.
