Early Life & Career

Raised in Riverside, California, Anthony attended John W. North High School. His interest in law began in seventh grade when his grandmother, Annette, tragically passed away in an elevator accident. This personal experience ignited his determination to seek justice for others.

During his early years, he overcame significant challenges, including being blind in one eye, to earn a spot on a Division I men’s water polo team after only starting the sport in ninth grade. This led him to La Salle University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in both Sociology and Criminal Justice. As a standout student-athlete, he earned recognition as the Outstanding Graduate of the Criminal Justice Department for the Class of 2021.
