Biography

Tony is originally from Hardinsburg, Kentucky, a small farming community in Northwestern Kentucky - approximately 50 miles southwest of Louisville. He helped his parents and grandparents on the farm tending livestock, racehorse thoroughbreds, and crops. Tony attended Eastern Kentucky University (BBA in Management) where he met his future wife, Nancy Hilgeman. Upon graduating and receiving his Army ROTC commission, Second Lieutenant Armes and Nancy began a short-lived military career in the Army at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. There, he was the deputy for facilities engineering. He soon seized the opportunity and began working as a civilian for the Air Force. As an entry-level government employee, Tony had to choose one of the five Air Logistics Centers, and he chose Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio as a contract specialist/contract negotiator. After a couple of years in Texas, Tony and Nancy and their two-year old daughter, Robyn, relocated with a promotion to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. At WPAFB, Tony moved from organization to organization negotiating with major defense contractors in acquiring and maintaining bomber, cargo, special operations, and VIP aircraft. At this time Tony attended Central Michigan University (MSA in Administration) and they had their second child, Kristopher. He also obtained an online Masters of Military Operational Art and Science degree from the Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base. Tony retired from the government on April Fool's Day, 2011. Tony and Nancy started a post-retirement vacation trip by touring around the perimeter of Florida looking for a home to winter at. They visited friends in Indialantic and stayed in a B&B there, followed by a month's vacation the next year in Indialantic. The beachside communities kept beckoning Nancy and him to stay longer and longer. Now Tony and Nancy are full-time residents of Satellite Beach. He is the director of Shepherd's Center-Beachside, Inc. which is a non-profit educational forum for older adults. When Tony is not at the Shepherd's Center he likes to travel, hunt for sea glass, read, walk, genealogy, and explore new diners and restaurants.
