Training: Architecture at Illinois Tech, Acting at University of Alaska, currently attending the Professional Program at the New England Center for Circus Arts.
Background: Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Anthony always loved running around in the wilderness and climbing on things (and riding his pet Polar Bear). While studying Architecture in Chicago he found a love for all things bicycle, which eventually led to his line of jewelry made from recycled bike parts: Simply Spoken. After an introductory workshop with the Angels in 2007, Anthony began training himself in circus arts under the extensive tutelage of Master YouTube. When the Angels returned to Alaska for Fallen at UAA, Anthony was found to be a great vessel to transport heavy things and carry pretty girls -the rest is history.
Favorite fruit: KIWI
Cats: Has recently developed sympathy allergies.
Fact: Eats 3-5 pounds of Peanut Butter per week.
Current Project: Simply Spoken
Angels Connection: Began with the Aerial Angels in 2007 as a [creepy stalker] audience member, found acrobatics to be a hidden super-power. Performed with Isabella and Mimi on the summer 2010 Eurotour (read: carried heavy things and lifted pretty girls)
