Amante’ is a true Painesville native! He graduated from Thomas W. Harvey High School, studied communications at Lakeland Community College, and earned his degree in Communications and Biblical Studies from Southeastern University.
With over a decade of experience with youth from all backgrounds and around the world, Amante’ brings a unique, global perspective to the TomTod sphere! His journey spans far and wide having served as a Camp Director across Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia, directed summer camp adventures at Ohio’s Camp Ho Mita Koda, and led YMCA after-school programs.
Amante’ believes that real growth happens when middle schoolers are given the space to reflect, invent, and step into their own leadership! When he’s not curating unforgettable experiences for students, you can find him watching football, getting lost in a good book, admiring creative building design, or asking big questions to interesting people. Above all, he loves everyday adventures with his wife and their dog!
