Jason Anthony was born and raised in New York City, later on he spent time living in Puerto Rico and in the states Capital of Albany.

At the tender age of six the first seeds of "Giving Back", were born from a desire to help his loving parents in a financial way, though his father was and still is a successful and respected Airline Pilot, Jason wanted to give something back to his beloved parents for their support. His idea was to enter into a Halloween costume contest in a mall in Puerto Rico in order to help with their continued support of his life, later this seed of giving back began to sprout and expand to his many years of involvement with community social programs through-out New York State. His educational back ground and life experiences began to include the Urban League of North Eastern New York well as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MSCE) in New Horizons Technical School, Registered Nurse major at Hudson Valley Community College and as community outreach director for The American Cancer Society.

One of the major points in his "Giving Back" was being asked to participate in a round table panel discussion, along with then Vice President Al Gore, On such traditional Democratic themes as neighborhood revitalization, job creation and assistance to the disabled in the Arbor Hill community in Albany, New York.

Following this he devoted the next four years of his life to lead a team and provide a life lesson/bible study canteen at a youth program for Vanderheyden Hall in Wynantskill, New York.

These life changing journey's in "Giving Back" has brought Jason back home to New York City, filled with dreams and the desire to make his community outreach instincts expand on a more global level with "Topics Coffee", a consumer driven enterprise whose %10 of profits are to be distributed to various not-for-profit charitable organization across the United States and the world.

Jason Anthony along with Topics Coffee is all about "Giving Back"- one cup at a time.
