Neighborbee Team

About our Founder
After graduating from Fordham’s College of Business Administration at Rose Hill in 1994 with a BS in Marketing, Anthony began a successful sales career in telecommunications working for NYNEX, now Verizon Communications. After Verizon, he worked for then start-up CLEC, Time Warner Telecom and then pursued an opportunity with then start-up Level 3 Communications. At Level 3, he was a top salesperson who worked with many start-up internet companies during the height of the internet boom of the late 90’s.

In December, 2006, Anthony received his MBA in Marketing and Management with a designation in Entrepreneurship from Fordham University. Most recently, he left his day job at British Telecom to pursue his dream of becoming an internet entrepreneur. Thus, neighborbee was born and with the help of Fordham University, will bring neighborhoods online to improve the lifestyles of members of the community and improve communities at large.

While in graduate school, Anthony founded the Fordham Entrepreneur Society in 2004 and currently remains active within the Fordham community. He also sits on the Dean’s Panel for Entrepreneurship at Fordham’s Graduate School of Business.
