Meet The Founder
After graduating from the University of Maryland with a degree in psychology, Anthony started working in a grocery store in March 2020, just as the pandemic created shopping panic. During every shift for over two years, he felt the impact of a stressful work environment that did little to support worker wellbeing or nourish co-worker relationships. Always on the verge of quitting, he started thinking about how things could be done differently.
What if we reimagined work to include intentional time and space during the workday to build social connection and community? What began as a fifteen-minute Culture-Building meeting in his grocery store has evolved into innovative programs that consistently demonstrate compelling outcomes: employees feeling valued as whole people, increased workplace empathy and trust, and reduced anxiety, stress, burnout, and absenteeism.
Since founding Evolving Minds in 2020, Anthony has been at the forefront of workplace mental health, training thousands of leaders across America. His work spans diverse sectors—from nonprofits and philanthropy to universities, public education, government, retail, and corporate environments.
