Additionally, he is a Bergen County Human Relations Commissioner, part of the YWCA Northern Jersey Racial Justice Taskforce, and a recent board member with the New Bridge Medical Center Foundation.

He also has recently become involved in local politics. As a leader within the LGBTQ+ community, it is important that we have representation and have a seat at the table. Anthony ran on a platform surrounding the importance of diversity of thought and embracing inclusion. Everyone should have a voice - regardless of the color of their skin, their religion, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, their tenure in town, occupation, education, etc.

He has written a number of published articles for SHRM, WorkHuman, Workology, Rezoomo, Achievers, etc. and has been quoted in HR Magazine, Namely, Bonusly, HR Bartender, and “Making Work Human," the latest from WorkHuman’s Eric Mosley & Derek Irvine, the pioneers behind the human workplace movement. Anthony has given a number of presentations and lectures about D&I, inclusion, being your authentic self, the importance of storytelling, unconscious bias, having those tough conversations, and facilitated workshops surrounding diversity & inclusion that include the privilege walk. He believes that to move the needle in the right direction we must have those tough conversations.

““Anthony is by far one of my favorite people in the Diversity and Inclusion space and it is because of his core knowledge of intersectionality. He's a rare type of HR professional because as someone whose career has included several industries, he goes beyond cookie cutter approaches and is able to truly build out custom solutions that make EVERYONE feel seen, heard and understood. This has been validated by the constant raving reviews he gets for his work in the SHRM chapters he's involved with as well as the companies he has worked with.”
