Anthony is committed to continued education and development and has learned from, and continues to collaborate with, the best teachers, coaches, and therapists from multiple disciplines from all over the world. He brings this knowledge and experience to help challenge and support people of all ages and backgrounds to realize their potential and become the best version of themselves as they work towards their own goals. He is passionate and committed to building a strong, inclusive, and ant-racist community. To facilitate this, he created an Inclusion & Anti-racist, continuing education process for our coaching staff to empower them with the knowledge and tools to ensure an inclusive and safe space for all.

In this conversation, Anthony discusses his roots in Ki-Akido, basketball, and engineering.  He shares about his core values, and how they help him navigate all things.  He also talks about being a gym owner amid a pandemic, the changes they've made to stay connected to their community, and the creative elements employed that will likely transcend the pandemic.  And, he opens up about his practice, and how he is addressing challenges he has faced with his knees.
