Anthony is a rare performer who works both sides of the camera to prove he knows his favourite subjects inside out – sport, health, fitness, adventure and hospitality. An established sportscaster with a decade as a reporter and desk presenter under his belt, Anthony is also an emerging athlete with discipline and demonstrated on track talent. Training in triathlon he chases Ironman titles, competed in New Zealand, and has also competed internationally in endurance events including the New York Marathon.
Regarded as a high energy adventure and tourism presenter, with a few years as a regular on Seven’s Sydney Weekender, Anthony has taken his passion for hospitality and become hands on owner/operator of a destination hot spot– the Splash Tapas Bar – beachside in Cronulla.
A great communicator and entertaining host, Anthony genuinely lives and breathes the health and fitness focussed lifestyle of an elite athlete-in-training. He balances this with his appreciation for all things leisure, food, family and warm hospitality.
He actually knows what he is talking about as a reporter and a participant.
Anthony kicked of his media career in radio providing live crosses for Triple M Rock Patrols in Sydney. He moved across to television to work behind the scenes as a sports producer on the Seven Network’s successful breakfast show ‘Sunrise’.
It wasn’t long before he jumped on camera, on location and behind the desk to cover some of the biggest stories in sport. He remembers the covering the 2006 Socceroos World Cup campaign as a career highlight.
Born and bred in “The Shire” in Sydney’s South, Anthony isn’t happy unless he’s playing some sort of sport, especially if the activity involves the great outdoors.
Whether it’s jumping out of a plane at 14 thousand feet, parasailing behind a speedboat, competing in triathlons or swimming with sharks, Anthony is more than likely to be right in the middle of the action. He is the man for all seasons – surf or ski slopes, outback or highrise.
He is a qualified scuba diver and has various instructing certificates ranging from kayaking to abseiling. Anthony has also represented at State level, NSW in two sports.
