Meet Dee Anthony
Dee is a 24-year Navy veteran and has spent 30+ years in enterprise technology. During his Navy career, he spent most of it in C4ISR — Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance.
In plain terms, it is the system that lets commanders collect data, make fast decisions, and direct forces across every domain. He applies that same discipline to everything he does.
Dee has been called an innovator, builder, and someone who sees what is coming before it gets here and plans for it. And, together with the operational risk framework embedded in his life as a Navy Flight Officer, his foresight into what is next and how to address it has been a hallmark of his career.
So, in early 2026, he built RiverRun Digital in Murphy, North Carolina, with a simple belief: people deserve a clear path to good work. That includes the trades. Not as a second choice, but as a high-skill, high-demand path where you can build a life you are proud of.

Sees What Is Coming
Dee has been called an innovator, builder, and someone who sees what is coming before it gets here. His operational risk framework — forged in the Navy — shapes every decision he makes in business and technology.
A lot of people feel stuck. College debt does not feel worth it. Desk jobs feel shaky. And the trades can feel hard to break into if you do not have family in them.
We built RiverRun Digital to make the path clearer. No shame. No gatekeeping. Just a practical way to choose a direction and start moving.
