Hi I'm Tony Piontek. I'm 33 years old and I live in New Iberia, Louisiana with my parents, George and Diane Piontek. I have four older brothers and two older sisters. I'm an Eagle scout with two Eagle Palms. I work at Lowes in New Iberia.
I thank you Mrs. Julie, Mrs. Charmaine, Mrs. Marlene, Mrs. Kay, Mrs. Shauna and Mrs. Kim for making me comfortable with my job on the DSAA board. It's also a blessing to work with people that are so caring, loving, and supportive of the dreams we share together.
Here's some of my personal activities and interests even some honors and awards I've accomplished. I'm truly blessed to know my gifts are from Him.
