After a highly successful and nationally publicized college career at Michigan State University, Tony Mandarich was drafted number two in 1989. The hype about his power and standing as a football player, along with Tony’s addictions, was more than he could live up to, and his life cam crashing down around him. After three more years of alcohol and painkillers’ abuse, Tony accepted God’s hand, went into treatment and now considers it a privilege to be able to help other addicts when called upon. Tony and his wife, Charlavan, have four children; they own and operate Mandarich Media Group LLC, in Scottsdale AZ, a full-service web media business specializing in website development and optimization, video production, photography and internet marketing.
