Antonio Boykins

Founder & CEO, Wise Living LLC

Antonio Boykins is the Founder and CEO of Wise Living LLC, an organization established in 2021 with a mission to provide compassionate, person-centered support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD). His vision is rooted in the belief that every person deserves dignity, opportunity, and a place they can truly call home.

Antonio earned his Bachelor's degree in Sociology and is a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP), certified in Mobile Crisis First Response. With more than 12 years of management experience in the ID/DD field, he has dedicated his career to developing high-quality residential and community-based services that empower individuals to reach their fullest potential.

Growing up in poverty gave Antonio firsthand insight into the challenges many families face. Those experiences shaped his resilience, strengthened his commitment to serving others, and fueled his passion for creating opportunities for people who are often overlooked.

One of Antonio's greatest inspirations is his son, who has autism. Watching his son's journey deepened his understanding of advocacy, inclusion, and the importance of providing individualized support. That personal experience continues to drive his mission of building programs that help individuals with disabilities live meaningful, independent, and fulfilling lives.

Today, Antonio is recognized for his leadership, innovation, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities while creating lasting change within the communities he serves.
