About Rev. Tony

Rev. Tony is an ordained Unity minister as well as having an ordination from the University of Metaphysics. His last full-time position was that of Spiritual Direct of Unity Center of the Heights in Cleveland, Ohio where he served for eleven glorious years. He began his first two years of serious Spiritual study as a Baptist seminary student, made the leap into metaphysics and is currently working on his Doctorate in that field of study. He has been studying A Course In Miracles (ACIM) since 1983 and his unique, energetic and somewhat humorous teaching style enhances his ability to convey the seemingly complicated teachings of ACIM in a very practical, understandable way. The responses and participation of those who have attended Rev. Tony’s classes and workshops has been nothing short of enthusiastic.  

Rev. Tony’s formal education includes Behavioral Science, Psychology, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Theology, Ontology, Cosmetology, and Tai Chi. He has worked with experts in the fields of transformational training, psychology, counseling, and metaphysics to produce a new technology in gaining awareness of advanced forgiveness presented in his weekend intensive workshops...Beyond Forgiveness, Quantum Abundance, Creating a Holy Relationship and Out of the Matrix (OM).  OM is a secular presentation of the ACIM principles designed to be used in high schools and as an intensive weekend for adults. It has been utilized in a number of schools in the Cleveland area and presented to hundreds of people in many states.  A seven year study of OM was authorized, by Kent State State University, after a number of Professors and grad students went through the training. Their conclusion was that OM produced more profound and ongoing effects than that of almost all self development and psychologically founded programs.   

Prior to becoming a Rev. Tony's endeavors includes over 30 years of successful entrepreneurial experience in business development, marketing, advertising, sales, customer service and public speaking.  He focused on the fitness industry for twelve years as a manager, consultant, trainer and Tai Chi instructor, and was the owner of a chain of diet, fitness and behavior modification centers. While there, Tony created an exercise program, Calirobics, for which he wrote the music, produced and directed an exercise tape, then produced a TV pilot and was featured on the nationally syndicated TV program PM Magazine.  Tony also achieved a high level of success as owner/manager in the Internet, Travel, Telecom, and Environmental industries.  In the military, Tony served as a U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Sonar Technician, and Ship's Diver, where he earned a Polaris Patrol Pin with two stars, a Presidential Unit Citation and was the drug counselor for the submarine flotilla in which he served.    

He currently resides in Ortona, FL with his wife, Rev. Susan Haberland. The major purpose in Rev. Tony's life is to teach people to live a fully expressed life, first of all by demonstrating it in his own daily living and next through his study groups, workshops and intensives, which focus on personal responsibility and the realization of an individual’s full potential.  Rev. Tony believes that with a "little willingness", vigilance and practice, anyone can live a life they unconditionally love.
