Anthony launched Nintendo Life in late 2005 and has remained at the helm ever since. He loves Nintendo but sometimes gets confused and tells everyone that F-Zero X is the best game. We've tried getting him help, but alas...

Growing up in the 1990's he developed a passion for video games by playing Game Boy, Super Nintendo and PC games. With a keen interest in the Internet since 1994 and IT, he fell in love with software development and programming, becoming a self-taught professional website developer in the early 2000s. Anthony now has over 25 years' experience building and designing websites professionally for a wealth of clients ranging from e-commerce clients to council organisations and non-profits.

Anthony honed his craft as a website developer and business owner during his 15 years as co-director of the website development company Cuttlefish, before shifting his sole focus to Hookshot's family of gaming websites, Nintendo Life, Push Square and Pure Xbox, which has since seen Time Extension and Steam Hype added.

Today, Anthony is both the Founder & CEO of Hookshot, responsible for the business operations, and its lead software developer, as he continues to develop the bespoke CMS that underpins the family of Hookshot websites.
