As founder of GMWS, LLC, Anthony provides consulting and investment expertise to home builders, real estate developers, and home service companies across Texas, Florida, and Arizona. At the same time, his deep involvement at St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church reflects his commitment to building stronger communities rooted in faith, service, and tradition.

Professional Excellence with Community Impact

Through GMWS, LLC, he has helped businesses expand into new markets, strengthen operations, and develop long-term strategies for success. His clients span industries tied to homebuilding, real estate development, and home improvement sectors vital to the economic and social health of growing regions like Austin.

His reputation as a trusted advisor is built on years of results and on a leadership style that emphasizes integrity, collaboration, and responsibility.

"True growth goes beyond financial outcomes," Anthony says. "It's about strengthening organizations in ways that uplift families, neighborhoods, and the broader community."

A Legacy of Faith: St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church

Anthony Siela's professional life is only one part of his story. A devoted parishioner, he actively serves at St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church, a historic parish in Austin founded in 1937 by Fr. Patrick Duffy, C.S.C. The parish's name has a unique origin: when the then-Archbishop of San Antonio became seriously ill in Rome, sisters caring for him urged prayers to St. Ignatius of Antioch. Upon recovering, the Archbishop promised to dedicate his next parish to the saint. St. Ignatius Martyr became the fulfillment of that vow, and since then has grown into a thriving spiritual home for thousands.

The parish continues to serve as a beacon of faith and community. Programs such as Sunday Scripture Sharing (every first and third Sunday), parish school initiatives, and ongoing building and maintenance collections highlight its dual mission of spiritual formation and stewardship. Anthony has embraced this mission wholeheartedly, helping to advance the parish's work through hands-on leadership and service.

Supporting ACTS Retreats

One of Anthony's most meaningful contributions at St. Ignatius Martyr is his role on the core team supporting ACTS Retreats. Rooted in the principles of Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service (ACTS), these retreats are designed to draw participants closer to Christ while fostering a deeper sense of fellowship within the parish.

The retreats offer opportunities for prayer, reflection, and renewal, inviting parishioners to grow in faith and in their commitment to serve others. Anthony sees ACTS as a transformative experience that strengthens individuals while also binding the parish together.

"ACTS retreats remind us of the power of community and the importance of living our faith actively," Anthony reflects. "They inspire us to bring Christ's love into every part of our family, work, and service."

Investing in Youth: Life Teen Ministry

In addition to ACTS, Anthony also supports Life Teen High School Youth Ministry at St. Ignatius Martyr. This dynamic program creates an environment for high school students to deepen their relationship with God through worship, fellowship, and service. Every Sunday evening, the parish hosts Life Teen Mass at 5:00 pm, followed by dinner, small-group discussions, and Life Night activities designed to nurture both faith and friendship.

The program adheres to the USCCB guidelines for comprehensive youth ministry and follows the Life Teen model, emphasizing spiritual growth, emotional development, and community engagement. Anthony's involvement reflects his passion for mentoring young people and providing them with positive, faith-filled experiences.

"Investing in our youth is investing in the future of the Church," Anthony says. "Through programs like Life Teen, we empower students to grow in faith, build character, and discover their calling."

Family and Community Roots

Anthony's service is not confined to church walls. He is also a dedicated coach and mentor, particularly in basketball, where he emphasizes discipline, teamwork, and character development. His philosophy extends into family life as well. He celebrates his son's achievements on the Westlake High School football team and supports his daughters' dedication to ballet, including his eldest who performs at the University of Oklahoma.

A passionate supporter of both athletics and the arts, Anthony believes these pursuits are vital avenues for young people to grow in resilience, creativity, and confidence. His example of engaged fatherhood underscores his broader commitment to nurturing the next generation in both personal and community settings.

Building the Future: Service Through Faith

St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church continues to thrive thanks to dedicated parishioners like Anthony who embody its mission. Through initiatives like second collections for the parish school and building and maintenance, the parish invests in education, formation, and hospitality. With parishioners' support, the church remains a safe, welcoming, and beautiful environment for worship, learning, and service.

Anthony's participation in these efforts illustrates his broader philosophy: leadership is not about titles or accolades, but about service. Whether guiding a business through growth, coaching a basketball team, or helping plan a parish retreat, his focus remains on creating positive, lasting impact.
