I am Anthony DiCarlo,  born in Chicago, IL, and relocated to Tampa, Florida, at a young age. I grew up and went to school and college in the Tampa Bay area.   Early on, I always had a passion for helping people and always a hunger to learn something new, with a desire to give back to the community.

I was involved in the music and technology industry for 19 years, and in 2010  I was given an opportunity to work, train, and job coach people with disabilities.   I soon realized this was my passion and never understood why any labels were given to this community.   Everyone is worthy of an opportunity to better themselves with the right team and training behind them.

From 2010-2015 I  worked for a non-profit company and traveled across the states from the East to the West coast. I gain experience training, Job-Coaching, Managing, and Program Development for employment, supported employment, pre-placement training, and vocational exploration. My passion for this work grew exponentially from there, and it became my mission to learn, grow, and share my joy with others.

In 2017, I relocated to the Orlando area and met with Keith, Melissa, and Frank for an opportunity to work with employU in the Orlando/ Winter Garden area. Their vision for growth and their passion for the community of people with disabilities is amazing. I became an Employment Specialist covering the Orlando areas. I was blessed to work and find employment for many of our customers and work with great VR counselors with the same passion.

As employU continued to grow and adapt to the challenges of 2020, I  accepted the position as a Program Developer in the Tampa Bay Area at the end of 2021. I am very excited to develop these new areas and establish services and break down barriers for our customers.
