About the Author:
Anthony F. Lewis was born and raised in Flushing, New York. He earned an MBA in Organizational Psychology from Baruch College (The City University of New York). He also holds two financial services designations - Chartered Life Underwriter, and Chartered Financial Consultant - from the American College in Bryn Mawr, Pa.
He has worked in various operational and consulting capacities for both Mutual of Omaha and AXA Financial, Inc., most recently for the Technologies Solutions Group at AXA Client Solutions in Manhattan.
A serious photographer, Mr. Lewis enjoys large-format landscape photography, and has done commercial imaging projects in both the studio and on location, as well as considerable professional portraiture work.
In his pre-MBA, British motorcycle days, the author worked as a bartender at the historic Peter Luger Steakhouse in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, the El Morocco Club on Second Avenue, the infamous Diamond's Whisky Parlor in Flushing and poured shots-and-beers (and kept his head down) through two stabbings and a fatal shooting at the occasionally exciting Pirate's Pub in Kew Gardens, Queens.
Mr. Lewis presently resides in scenic Patterson, New York, where he has recently completed his fifth novel, The Last Bartender, and is busy working on his sixth.
