About Me
Hi! I’m Frank. I’m a military veteran and sometime-journalist who enjoys sharing my observations of the world with folks who aren’t afraid to either agree or disagree with my takes. I won’t bore you with the specifics of my C.V. Suffice it to say, I graduated from a college you’ve likely never heard of, I’m from a state you’ve likely never been to, and I’ve done some journalism stuff–some of which has been recognized, but most of which has not.

When I’m not spending time with my wonderful kids and husband, I love writing about my fascination with food, adventure, and living a healthy and organized life!
Let’s hang out
