A father of 3, an artist, a musician, and a writer , straight outta Jersey, Anthony  grew up surrounded by art and music. His mother, Marie, a self-taught artist, carpenter, and musician , created a home where guitars, piano, painting and power tools reigned! 

At age 11, he picked up his first guitar and by 13, tried to emulate the blues artists he grew up listening to on his Squire Strat. 

Being a shy kid, he turned to paint and canvas , rhythm and blues, and his friends Marshall and Fender to find his voice and express his soul. 

In his teens, he formed a band, playing lead on originals as well as overdriven classic rock covers. Throughout high school and college he always dreamt of designing and creating a guitar company, often times sketching ideas in his notebooks (and his textbooks).

Today you can still find Anthony laying down tasty blues leads while pursuing his artistic endeavors that include screenwriting, songwriting and solo and group art shows.  All this while fulfilling a childhood dream by incorporating art, music and creative writing into the creation of Soulfire Guitarworks.
