I am originally from Syracuse, New York and ended up in the greater Birmingham (AL) area when I accepted a baseball scholarship from Bob Riesener at the University of Montevallo (UM). After graduating from UM in 2005, I started my company (J.Anthony Productions, LLC), which focuses on several different projects that service high school and/or college athletes and coaches with video production and streaming solutions as well as social networking technology for high school athletes with NEXTSPEX.com, to interact more efficiently in the recruiting process. I also serve as the broadcasting director for the Gulf South Conference (GSC) and professionally broadcast sports for television networks such as ESPNU and Comcast SportsNet Southeast (CSS). MOST IMPORTANTLY, I married my wife Yazmin in June of 2009 and we live in the Hollywood Villas (about one mile from ITF Homewood) with our daughter Savanah (8 years old/2nd grade). Joining the Iron Tribe Fitness staff is one of the neatest things that has happened to me. I met Luan Nguyen, ITF’s Director of Training, in the Fall of 2009 and he introduced me to CrossFit as well as telling me about “this new fitness box he was helping open up.” From there, I was a charter member at ITF Homewood in February 2010 and was blessed to hit it off with our fearless leader Forrest Walden. He and I connected on an entrepreneurial level and before you know it, I joined the team! What an awesome blessing…
