Author Bio:
Erik Feder
Erik Feder wrote "The Feder Guide to Where to Park Your Car in Manhattan (and Where Not to Park It!)" after spending years searching for and occasionally finding parking spaces in Manhattan. For nearly two decades he was employed as a video editor and drummer, working and performing all over Manhattan. During this time, Erik was the unfortunate recipient of his share of parking tickets and also had his car towed four times! One of these towing incidences happened even though he had parked correctly; after fighting for four months, Erik received a check from the Department of Transportation for the money he had paid to get his car out of the pound. Little did he know at that time that about 15 years later, he would write a book that explained (among other things) how to fight being towed and ticketed in error. As a result of the extensive research required to compile this book, Erik has become a "Parking Expert" and is proud to say that he has not received a ticket or been towed since the commencement of that research.
The Feder Guide was entirely conceived, researched, compiled and edited by Erik; he also designed the cover and created the website. Erik was born and raised in New Jersey and went to Rutgers University in Newark where he has a Bachelor's Degree with a double major in Music (percussion performance) and video production. As a video editor in Manhattan, Erik worked for MTV, HBO, Showtime, Montel Williams and Maury Povich, among others. He later received a Master's Degree in Land Management and Land Tenure (focus on natural resource management) from the Technical University of Munich in Germany. Erik now lives with his wife Manuela Sander, in Long Beach, Long Island. Manuela received her degree in Tourism and Marketing management in Munich and designed the marketing plan for The Feder Guide
