Biography 
Born in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York as the eldest of three sons, Castagnini obtained a B.A degree in Biology from Cal-State Fullerton.  Prompted by the death of his mother in 2005, Castagnini went on to found the "ThankGodi" publication, which focuses on methods of "equilibration" as a means to come to terms with traumatic personal events, and features well known authors John Demartini, Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Bernie Seigel.  The experiences that contributed to this approach of counselling were detailed in the documentary Discover the Gift, and on ABC's show A View from the Bay with Spencer Christian.
