About the Author:

A former and recovering shopaholic, Anthony Castellane is a renaissance man. Moving from the New York City area at the age of 23 to Los Angeles, he became employed as a musician, media planner, director, producer, financial aid advisor and last but not least, a popular waiter. After realizing his financial mistakes in his 20’s, Anthony looked for ways to cut back his spending in order to go back and finish his higher education, at the request of his ailing grandmother in 2003. Attending prestigious Pepperdine University on full merit scholarship, Anthony went on to become semi-retired by his early 30’s. He is currently directing and screenwriting for fun (and profit!), traveling the world for less than $500 a trip (that’s another book in itself!), and finishing up his M.F.A. in Screenwriting, also at Pepperdine University.
