Anthony J. Titone first received recognition for a job well done when an article and his photo appeared in the "Brooklyn Eagle" newspaper on January 21, 1955; he was selected as the Eagle Carrier Boy of the week; in August of that year he would begin as the head caddy at Dyker Beach Golf Club. His first full time job followed as a Western Union Telegraph deliverer. With this experience, he landed a choice after school part-time job on Wall Street with RCA Global, delivering cables during the evening hours while attending St. John's Prep daytime.

After Prep school, Anthony stayed with RCA, working the night shift full-time as an automatic operator, while attending St. Francis College full-time in the day. In June 1965 he received his BBA degree in management from St. Francis and was immediately promoted to the management position of Commercial Representative, assigned to the Wall Street office. While at RCA Mr. Titone was recognized on numerous occasions for his sales successes.

Anthony left RCA when he was selected to join Merrill Lynch as an Account Executive trainee, starting December 4, 1967. After training he soon distinguished himself, receiving particular recognition for generating new business from new accounts, ranking sixth in the firm for the first half of 1969. His continued success at Merrill Lynch was only his regular daytime activity; four nights a week he attended New York Law School, graduating in June of 1969 with a Juris Doctorate degree; with his free time he raised a family (daughters Lisa & Karen, born 1962 & 1967). After being admitted to the New York Bar in 1969, the Titone family moved to Ft. Lauderdale Florida where Mr. Titone soon became the top producer of Merrill Lynch's Ft. Lauderdale Office; he was promoted to the position of Institutional Account Executive, which he held until he left in February of 1974, to open his law practice.

Mr. Titone's law practice soon flourished; his initial client was the City of Sunrise, where he served as assistant City Attorney. Soon after, he appointed City Attorney and Municipal Prosecutor for the City of Lauderhill. He held this position, with distinction, for twelve and one-half years, leaving in 1988. Over some thirty years of practice, Mr. Titone, distinguished himself as a premier civil trial lawyer, representing the Broward Bailiff's Association, the Broward Sherriff's office and the Plantation Acres Improvement district. Mr. Titone was listed in Who's Who In American Law and received a "BV" rating from the lawyer rating service, Martindale Hubbell. He was twice recognized as a sustaining member of the Broward County Lawyers Section of the Florida Bar. Along the way, he also served as President of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, the Plantation Rotary, and for two years, served as President of the Country Club of Coral Springs. He currently serves as an Advisor for the Diversified Education Advisory Committee for Broward County Schools.

Mr. Titone continues to practice law, carrying a selective caseload. A few years ago one of his cases against a government agency was featured on a "60 Minutes" segment; a newspaper feature article on this same case, referred to Mr. Titone as a "powerful broward lawyer".

Anthony's hobbies include golf, baseball and most importantly spending time with his four grandchildren. On the golf course, he plays to a 11 handicap and has played on such famous courses as Augusta National, St. Andrews, Muirfield, Ballybunion, Lahinch Carnoustie, Prestwick and Pebble Beach. He played baseball in three fantasy camps with Hall of Famers, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford. In one feature game while playing for Mantle's team against former Yankee team mates he singled off of Whitey Ford to break up a no-hitter; up next as a pinch hitter came Mickey, who proceeded to hit a home run, which turned out to be Mickey's last. The day after Mickey passed on, a byline article on the Mick was about his last home run; the article included three quotes from the man on first base: Anthony J. Titone.
