xxAppearance:
Tony is all about comfort. His style is very laid back and when heâs not working, heâs shown to be a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy. Heâs definitely not afraid of getting dirty. Color wise, he prefers neutrals, but has worn greens and blues. Heâs stands tall at 6â1â.
Even though heâs out of the Air Force, he still works out a lot in order to keep himself in form. Due to his appearance he definitely gets a lot of looks from local girls (and even gay guys). Even though he exudes confidence in his appearance, heâs not one to brag about it. However, because heâs not in the service, he doesnât bother too much with his hair, liking the âmessy lookâ, but he will clean up when he has too, especially around his mother. He only has one tattoo on his upper chest area of a cross.
xxPersonality:
Tony is definitely your typical All American homegrown man. He was raised to be a gentleman and always tries to treat everyone with respect. Heâs the type you take home to meet your mother. He has high standards for himself, and because of this, he is his own worst critic. He knows heâs not the most intellectual person, but is smart enough to âread a roomâ. Heâs not afraid to stand up for his beliefs. While never one to get into a fight, you donât ever want to mess with him either. His experiences in the Air Force have also taught him that there are grey areas and nothing is ever completely black and white. So even though he never understands why certain things happen, he knows that it still happens.
After the death of his wife, he went through a dark period in his life, but thanks to family support, he was able to find himself again. Even though heâs learned to live with his grief and is ready to find someone again, he knows a part of him will always miss his first wife. However, because of her death, heâs become a lot more protective of those he loves. He also doesnât like those who arenât genuine and are manipulative.
xxHistory:
Anthony Justin Rogers grew up in large household. Heâs the 2nd oldest of 6 with 3 brothers and 2 sisters. His father was in the US Air Force, but retired after the required 8 years and settled in Colorado and started his own construction company. It was through this job did he meet Tonyâs mother since she did secretary work there. Growing up, Tony learned the value of respect and loved hearing the stories his father would tell him while he was in the service. He also became friends with his future wife as a kid and the two would become high school sweethearts. Football and church important to Tony growing up and he also loved helping out his dad at his job.
Once he was in high school, he was allowed to work part time with his father. Still he wanted to âseed the worldâ before settling down and so he enlisted into the Air Force right out of high school. Once out of Basic, he went to his first assignment out of state, all the while keeping a long distance relationship with his girlfriend. He goes to college through online classes to be an architect. When on break, he proposes to his girlfriend after she graduates from college. Both get married when 24. However, shortly into their marriage, she gets sick and soon they find out she has stage 4 cervical cancer. Even though Tonyâs next assignment takes him back home to Colorado and he tries to get her the very best care, she eventually succumbs to the disease and dies when only 25.
Tony looses it and allows work consume him and does retire from the Air Force after 8 years when heâs 26. He takes a break from life, living with his parents as he tries to figure out his life. After several months, he goes back to working, starting out as an construction worker for his fatherâs company. Being busy helps him through his grief, and by the time he turns 27, he is ready to move on, even though a part of him will always love his first wife. He got some excellent advice from his mother who told him, âDonât stop loving Emily (his late wife), just make room for one more, because sheâll need you more.â Also, he believes Emily is in a better place and not suffering either and would want him to be happy.
Itâs through his mother that he finds out about the show and she suggest he give it a try, especially since he doesnât see himself dating any of the single ladies he knows in his area. So with a few hesitations, he signs up for the show.
xxSeeking:
Some one to grow old with. He definitely wants someone who is family oriented and will be faithful. He wants kids, so he wants someone who is good with kids also. He wants to stay in Colorado, but since he has family scattered all over the US, he doesnât mind relocating since with his job as an architect and in construction, he can work anywhere. One perk would be someone who can cook. He can manage, but is better at grilling and barbecuing.
xxLikes
Football is one of Tonyâs biggest loves. His #1 team is of course the Denver Broncos and he always tries to catch one of their games and has even been to a few of them. Heâll watch other sports too, including baseball since his youngest brother is in the minor leagues. Like his father, he also enjoys fishing, grilling, and working with his hands. He loves ice tea. One of his favorite pastimes is attending family events.
xxDislikes:
One of Tonyâs biggest pet peeves is disorganization. If he sees anything âout of placeâ he always fixes it up. Tony also doesnât have a big sweet tooth, and canât stand cake. He also doesnât like those who donât support the military. Disrespectful and manipulative people are the kinds of people he tries to avoid as they get under his skin easily.
