Anthony Damaschino

Anthony Damaschino, author of The Empty Nest Blueprint books and a three-time award-winning author, is passionate about what he calls 'the most underrated phase in a parent’s life.' His books, honored by the American Book Fest, International Book Awards, and National Indie Excellence® Awards, provide a comprehensive guide for current and future Empty Nesters to thrive. Damaschino draws on current research, practical advice, and personal experiences from both single and married parents, helping readers navigate the complexities of midlife and evolving relationships. In addition to his writing, Anthony is the host of the Dawnversations with Anthony podcast, where he shares dynamic, relatable discussions on the joys and challenges of midlife. As a speaker, he engages audiences with inspiring messages about embracing the empty nest phase and the power of self-discovery. Anthony and his wife, both California Bay Area natives, have successfully launched their three children into the world, navigating the transition from parent-child to parent-adult relationships. Anthony holds a BS in Political Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an MS in Human Resources and Organization Development from the University of San Francisco. He considers himself not just an author but a recovering HR Executive, bringing a unique perspective to his work. When he’s not at his local library writing about parenting, personal development, and all things Empty Nest, Anthony can be found out in nature, impersonating an accomplished hiker. He is constantly adding to his ever-growing bucket list, and his mission is to empower others to do the same.
