Whether related to the work of the Foundation, discussing community tensions, or family celebrations, Anthony is always there to ask the important questions, provide sound thought partnership and guidance, and cheer you on all the way.

He always exhibits the highest level of professionalism and is a highly-respected representative of the City and County of Denver. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Anthony and look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.", and "Anthony is a rare combination of talent, charm, and passion. I had the opportunity to work closely with Anthony over 2+ years as we worked to bring The Other Side Academy to Denver. Throughout the process, I was so impressed with Anthony. He always responded to my calls and emails. He always kept commitments he had. There were multiple times when we faced some roadblock or obstacle and Anthony tirelessly worked his magic behind the scenes, helping get the right people in the room, facilitating hard conversations, and using his influence to create the outcome he was working for. It was amazing to watch! Anthony understood how to work through the labyrinth of bureaucracy and competing agendas to make things happen. Through all of it, Anthony was polished, considerate, and kind and approached even difficult situations with a smile and a velvet touch. It has been a joy to work closely with him and he has been such a wonderful civic leader and a wonderful representative of what it really means to be a true servant leader."
