Antonio is an Ex Music and Audio Graduate from SIT that left Southland to pursue his career as a drummer and working musician, which led onto and included progressive touring, both nationally and internationally as well as recording with numerous outfits and bands along the way. Throughout the years away he also attained a Post Graduate Diploma in Education at the University of Otago and has been combining his passions for music, education and teaching ever since. "It's a pleasure to be back at SIT and I feel privileged to be standing now as the teacher to what I was once a student of. I hope I can be as much of a knowledgeable and positive influence as my tutors were onto me."
