Michael Anthony moved to Oregon from SanDiego in 1979 and is a graduate of South Albany High School. Married to his first girlfriend, he has 3 children and the oldest is an University of Oregon graduate, The youngest is a sargeant 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, 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.

I moved to Albany in 2013 after getting accepted to the Unicycle on a Tight-Rope University in order to perfect my skills and eventually become the champion of the Pacific North-West. It all went down hill after starting in automotive in 2015. I loved working with vehicles and continuing to expand my knowledge about these machines. Since than, I have stayed in Automotive and have continued my path being the Pacific North West cyclist on a Tight-rope champion.
