The short version.
I'm Anthony. I'm in the architecture program at FAU, I run a construction company under my own name, and I manage and operate restaurants in Naples.
Construction came first. I've always worked with my hands — it was never a job I fell into, it's just what I did, and pretty early on I could tell it didn't have to stay small. So I built it into something.
Restaurants came after. One location turned into several, and the group kept handing me more of it — more sides of the business, more calls that end with me. I saw what it could turn into, so I went after the responsibility instead of waiting on it.
So a normal week is studio, a floor, and a job site, in some order. That's the trade I made, and I'd make it again.
The three feed each other more than people expect. Architecture is where I learned to think about how a building actually goes together. The job site is where I found out how much of that is wrong. Restaurants are where I learned to run something with people in it while everything's going sideways at once.
I'm 22. I know where this is going and I know how I'm getting there — and the name's already worth something. Now I want it everywhere.
