Graduated from SUNY New Paltz with a BA in Journalism, Anthony got a slow start on his career and held a couple of side part time jobs. During college, he was a Multimedia Editor/Staff Writer for The Little Rebellion, a guest host on New Paltz Critics, the campus station for WNPC-TV and a Music Programmer for Sirius XM Radio Inc. His first post-college break was writing for Joe Rodeo Magazine, TheCelebrityCafe.com and then Ultimate Athlete Magazine. These publications expanded his horizons in written material, social media and Content Management Systems (CMS). Anthony’s brush with fame came in September 2013, when he interviewed and wrote a Q&A story on the star (Katie Tardif) of a hit reality TV show for ABC Family called, “The Vineyard”. During the summer of 2014, he assisted in Board Operating for LI News Radio (103.9 FM), until the shows subsequently cancelled. In September 2014, he started writing his own blog on Word Press which received much praise, gaining 700 followers in the first two weeks of its launch. He currently has 900 publicized followers. The blog helped Anthony channel his talents in writing about pop culture, music, TV, film, video games, entertainment, tech products, poetry, advice columns, and food. It was the success and internet presence of the blog that garnered Anthony’s recognition by FDRMX.com. and BigAppleSoccer.com . Unfortunately, his Journalism career did not pan out, so he went back to school at earned a Masters degree in Social Work as a way to give back to the vulnerable populations and children for which he once needed help during his time in public school. However, this has not stopped Anthony from pursuing side passions in his blog, being an author, and an aspiring voice actor for which he was cast for several roles in a fan-based Batman cartoon TV show on BehindTheVoiceActors.com and a stop motion video where he voices Alfred Pennyworth for a fan-made LEGO Batman.
His hobbies consist of reading up on pop culture, social media, playing video games and listening to music from his over 11,000 song iTunes Library as well as over thousands of chosen songs and albums from his library on Spotify.
He published his debut novel on Amazon in an e-book titled, “Stay Awhile”. Purchase it now for 2.99. He plans on publishing a sequel and possibly turning it into a trilogy. Anthony has finished writing his sophomore novel, “Bound By Fate: The Promised Land”, the first epic fantasy book as part of a three book trilogy and is the process of editing. “Bound By Fate: The Promised Land” is inspired by: Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, and the Final Fantasy video game franchise. Through and through, Anthony is a big kid at heart who yearns for a fun and exciting life.
Anthony hopes that one of his two passions, writing and voice-over will take off someday.
