About Anthony

When my wife and I had our second daughter and began wanting to put down roots in the Bay Area, the first property we visited was in Brisbane. We were immediately enamored by the charming small-town atmosphere set against the stunning backdrop of San Bruno Mountain, and the thought of our little family flourishing in this safe, welcoming community filled us with great joy.

I grew up in California’s Central Valley where my mother served the community her entire career as a public-school teacher, and my grandfather served as teacher, School Principal, City Council member and Mayor of Rio Vista. I also heard stories of my other Grandfather’s run for congress when my Father was still a child, and the family lore of my Great Grandfather’s time as a US Congressman from California in the early 1890s. All of these examples shaped my early life and instilled in me a sense of the true value of service and the idea that everyone deserves representation. I also learned that democracy is not a spectator sport, and that if you want to make a difference, you have to have grit and determination to see it through.

I have been a small business owner since 2005, when I started my private freelance design practice Walker Design. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2015 I’ve also held design leadership roles at a variety of early-stage startups, primarily guiding product direction and brand identity for companies creating websites and apps.
