About Me
Hello! I'm Anthony Reinman, a dedicated family man and lifelong Ridgecrest, CA native. My journey took me away from my hometown for eight impactful years while serving in the Army. Today, I've returned to the charm of Ridgecrest, where I've rooted my family - my supportive wife, our two energetic kids, and our unique mix of pets. We have a spirited Husky-Malamute mix who's as playful as a velociraptor, a dignified older Schnauzer-Poodle gentleman, and a regal Persian cat that rules our home with grace.
I've always been passionate about technology and this led me to pursue a higher education degree in Computer Science after my time in the service. When I'm not engrossed in the digital realm, you might find me immersing myself in nature's beauty or practicing jiu-jitsu, a discipline I've grown passionate about. I often explore the Sierra Nevada Mountains, taking in the picturesque landscapes of places like Lone Pine, Independence, and Bishop. Mount Whitney holds a special place in my heart, offering some of the best hiking adventures I've ever had.
In Ridgecrest, evenings at the Ridgecrest Cinema are a treasured family tradition, and there's nothing like the adrenaline rush from a close soccer match or the serenity of casting a line into our local waters. Whether it's coaching soccer, sharing a video game battle with my sons, or just enjoying the community I love, every day is a new adventure.
