About anthony

Hobbies/interests: Cooking, broadway shows, reading, learning new things, yoga

Friends describe me as: caring and loyal

Favorite movie: The Wizard of Oz

Interesting fact: I love smooshed faced dogs--bulldogs, English bulldogs, frenchies, pugs etc.

GROWING UP: I grew up in Lynbrook, New York on a quaint local block where I built many close friendships with neighboring children that have lasted all my life. I attended a catholic school, which is where my interest in theater and the performing arts blossomed.

OCCUPATION: As a kid, I was always good at math and I sort of fell into a payroll position in my first job at a grocery store. Little did I know that it would shape my career path as an adult. Today, I am a payroll manager at a biomedical research university in Manhattan, and I also specialize in international taxation. When a child joins our family, I will be able to take some time off.

I love being a dad: Since a very young age, I knew that I wanted to be a parent. I’ve always loved interacting with the children of my friends and family. What I love most is that everyday is a brand new day with a child, full of wonder! I cant wait to see how our daughter interacts and builds a bond with a new sibling. I can’t wait to share my love for cooking, baking, creating and also my love of theatre, especially Broadway. Mostly, I look forward to learning and sharing in the talents that emerge in our child as they develop.
