In the site's early years, Anton was responsible for the bulk of the daily news posts and guides that you'd find on GTA BOOM. An avid fan of all things Rockstar Games, his journey with the franchise began with GTA 2 back when it was new (all the way back in 1999), and he was a gamer even before then - having played every title in the series, the retrowave aesthetics of Vice City gripped him most. Graduating summa cum laude from Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi with a BA in Media Production, Anton was a game journalist since 2014 until switching lanes in 2022.
