Vanguard Moving and Storage History...

    Started in 1977 by Peter E. Ozols and Sons, operating as an agent for American Red Ball Van Lines, Vanguard Moving and Storage switched van lines to National Van Lines, Inc. in 1999. In 2004 Vanguard Moving and Storage was bought by David Anton Inc. To this day Vanguard continues to be one of the top booking agents in the Northeast for National Van Lines.

David Anton

Owner & Operator

David Anton was born and raised in Chappaqua, New York. David is very proud to have bought Vanguard Moving & Storage at the age of 25. His goal is to perform honest, fair and quality moves for customers all over the sate of Connecticut. At the age of 10 he started working on trucks with his father. Three years later he started working for a small moving company based in Westchester County New York. He fell in love with the moving industry and set goals to one day own his own company. He felt the only way to truly have knowledge of the profession was to do it hands on. At the age of 18 he started driving straight trucks moving vans for North American Van Lines. Two years later he was driving tractor-trailers. While Dave attended Horace Greeley High school (Chappaqua, NY), North Carolina Wesleyan (Rocky Mount, NC), Western New England College (Springfield, MA) and Western Connecticut University (Danbury, CT) he worked every summer in the moving industry. He then switched over to Paul Arpin Van Lines and drove tractor-trailers for another three years with them. Dave Anton then bought Vanguard Moving & Storage and became president in May of 2004. He started by himself and has quickly grown Vanguard to a nine-truck, two-trailer and thirty-employee operation. He would like to see Vanguard Moving & Storage continue to grow as long as they continue to do quality work for all of their customers.
