Before moving to Brooklyn, Anixter lived in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA, in Matawan, New Jersey, USA and in Powder Springs, Georgia, USA.
As a real estate agent, Anixter started his career in Brooklyn with a Century 21 franchise. Soon after, Fillmore Real Estate recruited him as an associate broker for management.
In 2005, Anixter founded Lanixter Realty, a real estate firm that lists and sells homes in all five boroughs of New York. He was the agent of both the seller and buyer of a property in Flatlands, Brooklyn that was sold for $749,000 on October 30, 2025.
JFK Airport
Located in Jamaica, Queens, New York City, the John F. Kennedy International Airport is a hub for American Airlines and Delta Air Lines. It is the sixth busiest airport in the U.S.
On October 22, 2026, Anixter was accused of causing a disturbance while he was intoxicated inside a Delta Air Lines plane carrying 160 passengers and six crew members on board at the JFK Airport. The flight was heading to Atlanta, Georgia.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m., Port Authority police officers were called to the plane as it sat at the gate preparing for departure and removed Anixter from the flight. While they were escorting him off the plane, he was filmed pretending to shoot them with finger guns and going on a racist rant filled with expletives.
The flight departed the airport around 45 minutes behind schedule. Anixter was arrested and charged with assault, disorderly conduct, obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest.
“Delta has zero tolerance for disruptive behavior, and we thank law enforcement for their assistance in removing this unruly customer,” a spokesperson for Delta Air Lines stated. “We apologize to the customers on Delta flight DL2342 for this experience and any delay in their travels.”
