Anthony started his parkour journey in a small town in Saskatchewan, Canada. With nothing better to do, he started training to become Spiderman in 2018 in his backyard, and around 2020, he landed his first flip in his basement. In 2022, his family moved to Washington state, where he started his parkour coaching career as well as his diving career. His first year as a diver he competed as a state qualifier. After graduating high school, he moved to Redding, California, to continue coaching for a year before becoming a coach in Seattle. Anthony loves to coach, travel, meet new people, and try new things.
