Take it one day at a time—take responsibility, do what you have to do in that day, and then let tomorrow deal with itself.
About Anthony
- I was born in the suburbs outside of Chicago as an only child, so my mother was able to homeschool me—but home life was often rough because she suffered from schizophrenia.
- After pushing hard through my courses so that I could graduate early, I finished high school at 15 years old and went straight to college full time.
- Financially, community college was the only option available for me—we were in the middle of a financial crisis and I had to provide for my mentally ill mother while going to school.
- After completing my associate’s degree at Kishwaukee College, I transferred to Loyola University New Orleans as an international business major with a minor in accounting.
- Under the guidance of one of my professors, I switched my major to accounting, which aligned better with the route I wanted to take to be able to better provide for my family.
- After graduation, I got a job at Ernst & Young as a CPA—I grew a specific interest in my oil and gas clients, but knew I didn’t want to stay in the “Big Four” atmosphere.
- After three years at EY, a headhunter reached out to bring me onboard with LLOG Exploration Company—it’s the largest private oil producer in the United States.
- In addition to my position with LLOG Exploration, I also own property and work as a landlord.
