Anthony Borden Ward, professionally known as Tony Ward, made his grand entrance into the world on June 10, 1963, in the picturesque city of Santa Cruz, California. His parents, Robert Borden Ward, hailing from the heartland of Kansas, and Karen Elizabeth Castro, a native Californian, welcomed their second son into the family. Growing up, Tony spent the majority of his childhood in San Jose, where he was surrounded by the vibrant culture and eclectic atmosphere of the city.
As he entered his teenage years, Tony's family relocated to Sonora, a charming town nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills. It was here that he completed his high school education, laying the foundation for his future endeavors. After high school, Tony packed his bags and made the bold move to Los Angeles, driven by his unwavering passion to become a successful actor, model, and dancer.
Tony's journey to stardom took an unexpected turn when he was discovered by a keen-eyed scout while attending West Valley College in Saratoga, California. This serendipitous encounter marked the beginning of his modeling career, which he embarked upon at the tender age of eighteen.
