He received a Certificate of Completion for the CFP Program at Molloy College, and an M.A. in General/Special Education, Grades 1-6 both in 2005. His wife is an educator, and he himself has been teaching for over 15 years. Antoine currently teaches in the Bronx, where humor is a huge component of his teaching methods. He also created an Anti-Bullying Program named Empowering Communities Against Bullying (ECAB), which was another major inspiration for this novel.
