Биография
Антон родился и вырос в Санкт-Петербурге. Он с детства увлекался спортом и чтением. После окончания школы семья переехала в США и он начал изучать дизайн. Его выбор пал на Калифорнийский университет, где он с успехом прошел на курс дизайна продукта. Его куратором стал знаменитый Бред Блек. С успехом окончив университет, Антон решил продолжить свое образование на курсах по бизнес-маркетингу.

Курсы помогли расширить представление о профессии. Через год он поступил в университет Мичигана, чтобы получить степень магистра. После окончания обучения с отличием, Антон работал в крупнейших фирмах города, проводя маркетинговые исследования и создавая стратегии для спортивных брендов.
