My name is Anthony Tricarico and I have the good fortune of spending my days submersed in my passions. I hold a Master’s degree as a Technology Specialist from Teachers College at Columbia University and serve as Director of Technology at Bay Ridge Prep. Most recently, I finished a culinary degree with the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in their Health Supportive Career Culinary program. By day I look forward to helping students and teachers harness and understand the power they have at their fingertips, by night I relish preparing plant based food for people to enjoy.
E.O. Wilson: “our greatest crisis is our Paleolithic emotions, our medieval institutions, and our godlike technology.”
One day in the early 90’s my dad came home with a Micron computer purchased through a grant program with his job at the Brooklyn Union Gas Company. I was awe-struck. It had an i486DX processor with I think 256k RAM. AOL was one of the fastest growing companies on earth and the law firm I worked at did not yet have it’s first PC. It was not long before I was taking the home computer apart and exploring the intricacies of the system. Today I enjoy working with students to uncover the magic that is modern day technology.
