He is also a regular contributor to several arboricultural trade magazines. Anthony lives in Pennsylvania with his wonderful wife (who wrote this bio), adorable daughter, one dog, one cat, and five chickens. He awakes each morning, puts his pants on one leg at a time, and faces each new day with equal amounts of aplomb and internal panic. Such is the dichotomy of a tree guy that writes, struggling to be a writer that does tree work.
