As a passionate soccer fan and experienced youth sports organizer, Anthony teamed up with the U.S. Soccer Foundation in the summer of 2022. As the Just Ball Associate II, Anthony brings enthusiasm to the position using the skills he honed during years attending school and living in Boston, MA. Being born in Florida and raised and living in New York has given Anthony the opportunity to learn, engage, and work in different environments.
Besides a passion for sports, Anthony has an education background in Radiology. Playing soccer and being around the game has always been a goal of his for achieving a healthy, balanced work lifestyle. Anthony has previous work experience with the New York Cosmos, Colleges of the Fenway, Paris St. Germaine F.C., and various leagues around New York.
Anthony has built lifelong friendships through youth soccer, with a core group of friends that consists of over 30 years of playing and friendship. It’s one of the many reasons Anthony joined the Foundation with hopes to keep the ball rolling as part of the team.
