Hey, how’s it goin’?
I’m Anthony, Marine Corps Veteran, husband, and father of four young men.
I proudly served 6 years and 3 deployments in the Marine Corps Infantry before I was unexpectedly unable to reenlist. I left the Marine Corps as a Sergeant, HRST Master, and Assault Climber through SOTG where I mastered rope and paracord techniques.
After leaving the Marine Corps, I relocated my growing family from Southern California to Upstate NY where I struggled to find a career I enjoyed as passionately as I did being a Marine.
In 2021, I supported my wife through the freebirth of our 4th son who later developed horrible, itchy, full-body eczema. For months, my wife and I slept in shifts so we could keep the baby from scratching and racked our brains for how we could care for him, sleep, and still earn an income.
My wife started a doula-photography business and, to show my support, I made her a camera strap using 550 cord. When she saw the process and realized how versatile 550 cord was, she encouraged me to go full-time doing something I loved that tied me back to the Corps, gave me a creative outlet, and would allow me to continue caring for my son: making 550 cord creations.
I now use paracord in a variety of creative ways, from traditional paddle wrapping to binky straps and custom orders.
What I’m passionate about hasn’t changed since the Corps: being there for my people in any way they need. Now I spend my days partnering with my wife in raising our boys up in the way they should go, serving my community, and waiting to make a masterful paracord creation just for you.
Thank you for helping me provide for my family.
