About Anthony: Fortunate enough to marry his wife Brett in 2015 and has been incredibly lucky ever since. Opened Oakwood Pizza Box in 2017 on a hope and a prayer. In a previous life Anthony spent time running some fancy restaurants throughout Raleigh, but most certainly prefers Champagne and Square pizzas. Currently obsessed with opening restaurant projects for young hospitality professionals so we can enjoy a more vibrant restaurant scene and they can experience the magic of entrepreneurship. Graduate of UNC Chapel Hill. Three Kids and a golden retriever named Pierre make sure there's never a dull moment.

Show Notes:
Welcome to Dirt NC where we talk all about the places and spaces of North Carolina and the people who make them awesome, I am your host Jed Byrne.
Throughout my career in engineering, construction, finance, and development, I have covered just about all sides of the land use ecosystem. This show creates an opportunity for me to share what I have learned with you as well as introduce you to some of my friends, both new and old who are doing transformative work.
With each episode of Dirt NC my goal is to make sure you walk away learning something new about land use. I promise to keep it simple and straight to the point.
As always, I am grateful that you have chosen to share this time with me! If you have comments/questions/suggestions about Dirt NC or anything land use related you can connect with me on www.oakcitycre.com.
Until next time, Thank you!
