John Anton

President

Anton Sport was started with an idea, a tiny dorm room and a maxed out credit card.

Customer Service

Amber

Customer Service Rep

Amber was born abroad and raised by a pack of wolves. She grew up roaming the hills of the Netherlands, seeking purpose through her life long ambition to open a Cloud Factory (where clouds would be manufactured for aesthetic purposes). Once she found out that clouds came about naturally in Earth’s atmosphere, she redirected that passion towards two things; moving to Arizona and working at Anton Sport. The rest is history. Nimbostratus will always be dear to her heart but Bella + Canvas comes in as a close second.

Brittany

Customer Service Rep

Brittany has had a passion for colors and design since she was a child. This industry is her love language. She was introduced to the screen print/embroidery business in 2010 when she and her husband took over a family owned screen print shop in Flagstaff. The high stress and quick deadlines are all worth it when she sees the smile on her customers faces when they get their finished product. She loves to spend her free time traveling with her husband when she is not mothering her three daughters and 6 dogs.
