Executive Director & Founder

Human bio: What am I curious about? How culture evolves through time. How people change culture. How cultures change people, for better or for worse. What is it about our common humanity, in a world with so much harm and oppression, that demands social progress? This is what I am most curious about. What connects us.

Professional bio: Anthony is a social entrepreneur. He is the founder and executive director of Evolving Minds, a mental health nonprofit with the mission to create a culture of care.

Anthony has developed innovative workplace mental health programs that center social connection, community, and organizational culture; essential ingredients of a healthy workplace.
