Who is Anthony?
An award-winning ACD copywriter who has no problem embarrassing himself to sell an idea through. Because I’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done—even if it means make-shifting daisy dukes for a deck photo.
I’ve brought that determined work ethic to every brand that I’ve been fortunate enough to work on. Like Honda, Farmers, Meta Portal, WhatsApp to name a few. From generating breakthrough ideas to overseeing and leading creative, I’ve done it all with a smile on my face…and some form of pants on my legs. Shorts are technically pants, just shorter.
When I’m not busy embarrassing myself, I’m crafting cocktails. I’m nerding out on coffee and looking at the next gadget I definitely don’t need to buy. I’m playing video games with friends. Or having an amazing meal with my wife. And somewhere in between there I’m forcing myself to go to the gym.

Why is Anthony?
I got into advertising because I love making people laugh. I love to break through the monotony of the advertising landscape with something unexpected. Fresh. Memorable. Turning someone’s initial thought of “oh god, please stop bothering me with this ad” and having someone leave with, “well, that was better than I expected”.
Thankfully, I’ve been successfully doing just that for almost a decade, whether that’s been TV (my favorite), Radio (super close second favorite), Social (also a favorite), Digital (it’s definitely top 10), OOH (love a simple headline) or any other medium you can think of.
