Anthony came to Idaho Falls in March of 2008 and is currently a weekday reporter and the weekend anchor for KIDK.

Anthony was born and raised in Dunsmuir, CA, a small town in Northern California's beautiful Cascade Range. He left his small mountain town after high school and headed for the big city life to attend the University of San Francisco and pursue his dream of becoming a broadcaster.

After graduating from USF in May of 2007 with a degree in Media Studies with an emphasis in journalism, Anthony got his start at KRCR-TV in Redding, CA where he worked as an editor and fill-in news reporter until coming to the Gem State.

During his time in Idaho, Anthony has covered a variety of interesting and fun stories; from sitting down to interview former Governor and Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, to twice being pulled into mashed potatoes at the Shelley Spud Days Tug-of-War.

When he's not at work, you can usually find Anthony at one of the golf courses in Idaho Falls or playing basketball at local gyms. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, eating out (especially sushi), watching movies, and relaxing at home. He is also an assistant coach to the varsity boys basketball team at Idaho Falls High School.
