Anthony has a strong passion for Miata’s. It started in 2010 when he purchased his first one. Since then, he has owned over 200 Miata’s. He has devoted his life to understanding, rebuilding and customizing these cars. In 2021 he spent time with Mazda under their heritage program learning from the worlds best and working side by side with masters in the field. He specializes in first and second generations while having a passion for them all. Anthony was born in February of 1992. The day he was born his grandfather gave him his first toy which was a 1989 Mazda Miata model car. He still has that toy today. He never imagined that he would one day live out his dream of owning a Miata shop.

       Anthony graduated with a degree in law and pursued a professional tennis career after college. In tennis he had won 2 national titles and had become director of a facility in northern NJ. He received many awards for his play and even more for his coaching. Having directed 2 of the best youth academies in the country. In 2019 he was recognized by the United States Tennis Association as the coach of the year and one of his programs was recognized as a top tier program for 10U tennis.

       In 2019 his daughter was born! Unfortunately, she was born with some complications. While him and his wife navigated through troubled times the facility, he worked for felt it was best to terminate his contract. This happened shortly before Christmas of that same year. Later that night while bottle feeding his newborn, he vowed to her that he would never be put in this position again. The next day he started his own academy. Anthony revolutionized the sport. Inventing new ways tennis was taught to children. He holds 8 patents on his ideas and in March of 2020 his new company was set to secure a life changing contract! Unfortunately, once again he was met with another hurdle.

       The Covid 19 pandemic had shut down his company. At that time, he began preparations for reopening once the pandemic was over. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. At that point he had exhausted almost his entire savings and was left with about $1200 with no income coming in and no way of his tennis academy reopening. At least for the foreseeable future.  It was at that point that he decided to make what would become a life changing gamble. He needed money quickly and decided to “flip” a car to get it. He spent all night searching and searching and somehow came across what would be the FIRST MIATA. This is the Miata that started it all for the Miata Empire! He put every penny he had into it and the rest is history. Since then, his company has owned close to 300 Miata’s and has worked on thousands! He has been able to live out his dream ever since and provide for his family working with the car he loves most.
