Born and raised in Salem, New Hampshire, Anthony Helinski has always been driven by discipline, teamwork, and continuous improvement. A former varsity hockey player and MVP at Central Catholic High School, he went on to play collegiate hockey at Suffolk University before retiring to complete his teaching degree. Anthony’s career reflects a consistent theme: build, refine, improve. From teaching science and engineering with hands-on robotics and civil engineering clubs, to designing gas infrastructure remediation projects for major utilities, he has built a reputation for being the hardest working member of the team. His mindset is rooted in the engineering design process — identify the problem, test solutions, refine the outcome. Outside of engineering and education, Anthony is an avid golfer, lifelong hockey player, and dedicated woodworker. Through Helinski Custom Woodworking, he creates handcrafted cutting boards and custom pieces that reflect both technical precision and artistic care. For Anthony, success is measured by the difference you make in others’ lives — whether through teaching, teamwork, or building something meaningful with your hands. He believes: Take the moment and define it — or the moment will define you.
