Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, Anthony has built much of his professional life in Texas, including San Antonio, and today brings decades of experience, discipline, and relationship building to Core Private Capital Partners.

His philosophy is straightforward: exceptional wealth management begins with understanding the person behind the portfolio—what they’ve built, what matters most, and what they want their wealth to accomplish.

Anthony has a distinct ability to bring together investment management, comprehensive financial planning, income strategies, and carefully selected financial solutions into a cohesive strategy uniquely structured for each client. For those approaching retirement or a career transition, the focus is not simply on investments or products, but on how the entire financial picture works together—assets, income, risk, taxes, and long-term objectives.

His approach is purposeful and personal: understand the client, define the objective, and structure the financial strategy around the life they want to live.

Anthony makes his home on South Padre Island, Texas, while maintaining a second home in Cedar Creek, Texas. His Central Texas presence allows him to meet with clients and conduct financial education seminars throughout the rapidly growing Austin–San Antonio region and broader I-35 corridor, while South Padre Island remains the place he calls home.

Away from business, Anthony’s life is grounded in faith and family. He loves his family—his wife, who is originally from China, and their family of three adult children, including his two children and stepson. His father, now 96 years old and doing remarkably well, remains one of Anthony’s greatest inspirations and an enduring example of perseverance, discipline, and longevity.

Discipline has been part of Anthony’s life from an early age. Growing up, he was a three-sport athlete, an experience that helped shape the competitive spirit, preparation, and perseverance he continues to bring to his professional life.

Anthony genuinely loves his profession, the relationships he has built, and the opportunity to help people prepare for what comes next. Away from the office, he is a lifelong avid fisherman, having fished the Texas coast since the age of five.

Today, living on South Padre Island, some of Anthony’s favorite time is spent on the beautiful Lower Laguna Madre and surrounding waters—sight-fishing the shallow flats or drifting the jetties for tarpon, snook, redfish, and speckled trout. For Anthony, being on the water is more than recreation—it’s a lifelong passion and a place to appreciate the extraordinary natural beauty of the Texas coast.

For Anthony, whether it’s faith, family, business, or time on the water, the philosophy is much the same: know what matters, prepare with purpose, and make the most of what lies ahead.
