Trivia

Anastasi's maternal grandfather was a savant piano player who could play anything he heard by ear.

Both Anastasi's maternal and paternal grandfathers are of Sicilian, Italian origin.

Anastasi's father was one of twelve siblings.

An avid traveler, Anastasi was a pro snowboarder in Vail, Colorado, scaled Glacier Lake mountains in Bolivia, and cut pathways through the jungles of Contagem, Brazil.

Anastasi is an Amazon best-selling author of The Voice of Your Dreams, a personal development book, and recently published a second personal development book entitled, Your Prosperous Mind, based on his successful coaching background.

Anastasi's childhood was filled with his large extended Catholic Italian family playing numerous instruments and singing. Family reunions revolved around performing on a stage in his paternal grandparents' backyard, where family members would rotate in and out playing music all day long.

After repeatedly being told he looked Eastern European - and getting a steady stream of Russian villain auditions, Anastasi worked with private coaches to learn not only an authentic Russian dialect but also the Russian language itself. Along the way, through a DNA test, he discovered, not surprisingly, that he did indeed have some Eastern European / Russian ancestry.
