Tahj- Anthony is not your average business entrepreneur.

As a junior, Tahj made a tough decision to leave the football team and opened up his own business. Tahj says “the decision was not an easy one, but I knew that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made thus far.” At the young age of 19, he opened up UCONN’s first- ever creperie. Rebranding himself from Student-Athlete to Student-Business owner. There, he managed an extensive staff and led a successful operation while pursuing his degree in Economics. His marketing and business strategy resulted in over 20,000 Google searches, seventy-five thousand customers, and a percentage of the profits to help feed the hungry.
In addition to owning his own restaurant, Tahj- Anthony is currently a Senior Business Development at a startup in New York. In his free time, he is an avid investor and continues to innovate. He continues his entrepreneurial spirit and has several pending business ventures in the works.
Tahj believes “It is important to constantly learn and aim to get better everyday. Just like a sport, to be successful, you have to work hard to achieve that goal.”
