After his studies, Anthony acquired a  decade's worth of sports and IT expertise through several career  opportunities. As a Principal Lead at Securonix, he worked with  commercial and federal clientele to develop enterprise solutions that  address day-to-day operational challenges. Outside of the IT space,  Anthony has continued to coach basketball and track at the high school  level.

Starting with his senior thesis in college, centered on being an effective  self-learner, Anthony is a true student of several games and uses this  knowledge to be a visionary and leader in the sports industry. He was  born and raised in Jamaica, Queens and loves New York sports teams  across the board!

Jay expressed his love for sports and statistics at a young age. A  basketball fan and an avid organized baseball player from youth through  high school, Jay often tracked statistics of pro players. Born in New  York, Jay's passion for sports is matched by his love for gaming, cars,  and networking.  Jay's multi-faceted interests and talents made him the  perfect fit for leading the social media presence and growth of Baseline  within the sports community. He oversees the planning and execution of  the company's media presence, but still gets to revel in his passion of  gathering statistics and scouting players 

Christian is one of Baseline's founding members and is a born and bred New Yorker hailing from Queens, NY.

He is a passionate sports fan who grew up playing baseball from an early age through high school as well as being an arduous fan of all New York teams! After  earning his degrees, Christian went to work in cybersecurity with a focus on Security Data Analytics where he helped clients in the federal and commercial sectors to identify product use cases and security threats by analyzing their data. This aided in the development and deployment of analytics that would alert to anomalous behavior. It was this passion for sports and technology that led Christian to being a highly-sought after team member at the launch  of Baseline Scouting and he continues to play an integral role in  delivering a product that will disrupt and make an impact in the sports  industry.

In his free time, Christian enjoys playing video games, listening to music, watching baseball and basketball, going to the  movie theater, and taking tropical vacations.
