While in college Chef Anthony was diagnosed with Arteriovenous Malformation, an incredibly rare condition affecting blood flow to the brain. Luckily doctors caught the disorder early, but that health scare led Anthony to redefine his life.

In 2009 he picked up a camera and started documenting his journey of crafting healthy meals for himself. After friends and family tried his meals, he knew he had something special.

Fast forward to now and Chef Anthony, who is self-taught mind you, has amassed a following on social media, catered huge events, wrote four books, and had a line of products and services.
