Anthony studied under John Stropes, Andrew Lardner and Rene Izquierdo at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee which is the only program in the world to offer a B.F.A. in Fingerstyle Guitar. He holds a B.A. in Music from Western Connecticut State University with a double concentration in both Jazz and Classical Guitar; tutelage of Kenny Wessel (Ornette Coleman, Donald Fagen) and Ted Morcaldi (Matt Whitaker Trio, Mad Satta).
