ALR Bio

Mr. Ricciardo was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy in 2001 and has a B.S. in Mathematics with a Business/Computer Science concentration. For over 10 years, he has worked in the real estate investment industry, developed financial models, and worked with the latest technology to streamline productivity.

Following a passion in Computer Science, Anthony co-founded 175WebDesign in 2009. Use of smart technology and unique visual communication tools has allows for consistent creation of high impact websites that get results. 175WebDesign focuses on not only design, but the programming aspect to create more dynamic sites than the average design firm.

While working with 175WebDesign, Mr. Ricciardo began consulting directly with non-profits. As an independent consultant, he provided services to manage and customize their online donation tracking campaign management tool. The system is flexible enough to provide personalized solutions that are PCI compliant for each campaign, but also provides real-time reporting to track current results.

Shortly after opening the web design firm, Mr. Ricciardo saw a need to fulfill a broader niche in the website technology industry. Instructus Group was formed with the intention of offering web design and programming solutions with high scalability. This has positioned Instructus Group to become the leader in the web design industry. Essentially, he developed a system to duplicate the 175WebDesign model under any brand. It allows other companies to offer similar services seamlessly under their own name, while Instructus Group provides the entire fulfillment including its system and resources.

The latest project Anthony is involved with is QiriApp.com. In a short time, the concept of creating an affordable point-of-sale system on a mobile device for the retail and restaurant industry went from concept to reality. Currently in beta testing, the application is scheduled for launch by March of 2012.

In 2010, Anthony returned to his passion of numbers and finance. He began day trading at a proprietary day trading firm. He took twelve months developing his skills as a day trader working full time. To be a successful day trader, one needs to learn to control their emotions and develop a disciplined strategy. Anthony is now sharing his knowledge with a select few to build a team of day traders who work together to enrich the lives of those around them.

Recently, Mr. Ricciardo partnered with Jeremy Crutchfield at Annex Acquisitions and co-founded with him Vandora Capital. Vandora Capital is a private equity firm providing short-term capital on real estate investment projects. Each of the projects are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust. www.VandoraCapital.com.
