Joseph Anastasio studied Psychology at Marymount Manhattan College where he specialized in forensics and research. He worked with research teams at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Rockefeller University, and New York-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center. During this time he also founded the LTV Squad—popularizing the term ‘Urban Exploring’.
He soon pivoted to working in the tech sector as a software developer, UX Designer and Instructor. He has published nearly half a dozen non-fiction books on graffiti and urban exploring.
All of this life experience has led him to this moment—leveraging these skills to both write amazing stories and help others do the same.
His first novel, The Vengeful Fist, is currently nearing completion.
