Anton started training at home in Belarus at around 9-10 years old and immigrated to the States in 1997. Inspired by fitness magazines, he aimed to achieve a cover-worthy physique. In the early 2000s, Anton was signed by modeling agencies but always preferred the fitness field over fashion. After his contracts ended, he joined fitness agencies. Throughout his 20s and 30s, Anton worked part-time as a personal trainer and wrote for Muscle & Fitness. Competing in bodybuilding, he earned magazine covers and recognition, with 50 competitions, 8 international gold titles, a bronze at Arnold Classic, and qualifications for 5 Mr. Olympias. Invited to Masters Olympia in Romania, he couldn’t compete due to injury but remains an active IFBB professional.
