Anthony helps to oversee the educational programming developed and offered by theTurtleRoom. He organizes and performs educational talks around the country. Anthony also keeps, breeds and writes about many species from around the world. Anthony enjoys assisting with field research of endangered turtles around the country, primarily in the Northeast. He started the Second Chance Project, which gave individuals with disabilities the opportunity to build their resumes and confidence by with Critically Endangered Vietnamese Pond Turtles, Mauremys annamensis. Anthony collaborates with national Geographic for their Critter Cam project, which outfits video cameras to be temporarily placed on Snapping Turtles, Chelydra serpentina, to record behaviors of the animals below the surface.

Anthony recalls going to a local pond to catch turtles with his aunt at the age of 5. Before the age of 10, Anthony had kept several turtle species. Seeing the large Alligator Snapping Turtle, Macrochelys temminckii, at the Bronx Zoo at age 9 opened his eyes to more than what could be found in the Northeast.
