Anthony is originally from Topeka, Kansas. After more than a decade on the East Coast, he relocated to Scottsdale in 2008.  As a former college athlete, finding any way to stay active is what he is most likely to be doing outside of the office.  Anthony is an endurance mountain and gravel bike racer.  He has competed in three countries and several states, and looks forward to growing that list.  He also enjoys golfing and kayaking. As a life-long Cleveland Browns fan, Anthony has also mastered the arts of eternal optimism and patience.
