Michael Anthony moved to Oregon from San Diego in 1979 and is a graduate of South Albany High School. He has 3 children and the oldest is an University of Oregon graduate, The youngest is a sergeant in the Marine Corps and his daughter has her Associates Degree in Telecommunications. Prior to coming to University Honda, Michael Anthony was a production manager in the aerospace and wood crafting industries, certified orthodic prosthetic technician plant manager but he has always had a background in the automotive industry as his father and uncle were both successful in the industry. And, prior to his working as a production manager, he was in car sales in Albany so working at University Honda is not totally a new career. He works very hard to earn people's trust and their business. When he heard there was an opening at University Honda he jumped on the idea of working here due to the great reputation our dealership has and he is excited to be selling Hondas! In his spare time he enjoys fly fishing, golfing and cheering on the San Francisco Giants...GO GIANTS! When you work with Michael Anthony, it will feel like you are buying a car from a trusted friend.
