Biography
Born in Hancock, MI in the mid-eighties, Anthony was only very shortly a resident of the UP before his family relocated to the lower peninsula. Growing up in Ludington and Bay City, his non-academic interests were music and skateboarding.
Upon graduation of high school in the early 2000's, Anthony dabbled in community college for a short period. Ultimately, he pursued a musical pathway and joined a band that took him and his closest friends on tours across the country. A handful of years and a few albums later, they broke up :(
Anthony's return to reality and a pursuit of a college degree brought him to Davenport University, where he achieved his BBA. After years of working in the retail and banking industries, he realized his passion was in higher education and joined DU Admissions. After later achieving his MBA and celebrating successes directing admissions teams and systems, an opportunity to return north presented itself... And the rest is history.
Anthony's loves are his wife Amanda, children Elliot, Charlotte & Evelyn, and the Chicago Cubs.
