Anthony Pagano

In his spare time, Anthony ran a rock and heavy metal online zine from 1997 to 2006. He traveled all over the Northeast attending shows, taking photos, writing reviews and conducting interviews. After nine years of work and unfulfilled promises from record labels, he decided to put down his pen and camera. However, he still has a passionate love for hard rock and heavy metal music─ranging from 1349 to ZZ Top.

Anthony’s first job, while still in high school, was in the mailroom of a health-care supply company. After six months, the IT department noticed his astute ability with its data entry system and offered him an IT job. This involved doing everything from help desk support to creating and running reports, setting up new computers and managing a database of over 250,000 customers.
