Anthony's Story
Life
I am a dual citizen (US and Canada), and Arizona is home. Absolutely loving the sunshine almost 365 days of the year. I am a Dad, to an amazing little boy that reminds me how precious life is, and how important it is for me to lead through example.
Work
I am a Certified Information Security Professional (translation: Mega Geek with MAD skills), and provide leadership in organizational effectiveness principals and processes. Basically advise companies on how to keep precious customer data (and secrets) safe, while creating a response plan for when they get breached.
Education
I hold a bachelors of Science - Information Security from the University of Phoenix, a CISSP and CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker). a MBA in Global Management from Thunderbird/Arizona State University (ASU),currently pursuing my Juris Doctorate at Concord Law School & my PhD in Industrial and Organizational Development Psychology at Grand Canyon University.
Teachers that inspired me the most: Mr. Lista (I will never forget that ...Expand for more
conv!), Mrs. something [english teacher, grade 12, cant remember her name right now], I still cannot pick up a Coles notes!, Tanzini (for giving me enough rope to hang us all, and still covering for us when we got caught), David M., Raj N., and quite a few others who I am sure I have forgotten. Eternally grateful. Thank You.
Wow, whole new list now. Dr. Leclerc, Dr. Stringfellow, Dr. Goddard, Dr. Hicks, Dr. Dash, Dr. Siehl, Dr. Tuzzolino.. The list goes on..
I believe change happens because someone stands up and says 'I will lead' that change. Against all conflict and criticisms that say otherwise, or question its possibility. I believe the responsibility to be that leader is with each and every one of us. Its a choice not a position to be elected into. I personally feel the responsibility to be that agent of change, especially in creating a better world for my son to thrive in. If not me, who else? It is therefore that responsibility that keeps me doing what i do, and keeps me inspired to do it.
