Who's behind this
Just an ordinary guy from North Carolina.
I'm Anthony. Seventeen years in the classroom taught me that ordinary work, done well, adds up. Along the way I started filming the everyday stuff: cooking, camping, EV road trips, fishing at Kerr Lake, and the work behind the work.
The Ordinary Crew is where I share the useful stuff that doesn't fit in a video. Ordinary people, living extraordinary lives. Romans 8:28.
