About the Author
|
Frank lives along the Mississippi River, and has leveraged his many life experiences to write the Dianis, A World In Turmoil chronicles. He was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan where he and his father cruised the Great Lakes. Frank spent six years in the US Navy, and sailed through two hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. His love of the sea is reflected in the chronicles, a love he has shared with his wife and two girls.
As a hunter, Frank has taken game with a variety of weapons, including the muzzleloader, the earth-bound technology developed in The Foundry, tested against the pirates in The Matriarch, and deployed against the Drakans in the forthcoming book, The Citadel. He assists his wife in her passion for horses as stable hand and riding partner. Their horses are Sully, a bay gelding, and Suzette, a beautiful paint. Equines appear regularly in the Dianis series, just not as horses, but as eenus. Frank's care for our Earth and the stewardship of their land in Wisconsin are reflected in the culture and ethos of the Timberkeeps. He has two degrees: a Bachelor of Computer Science and a Master of Business Administration. Those degrees have been integral in his professional life where he has worked in a variety of roles from software engineer, to marketing executive, to chief information officer, at such prominent firms as SAP and Organic Valley. The technical and scientific acumen he gained through those endeavors is demonstrated in the series in the effort to make the Dianis brand of science practically possible somewhere in the galaxy. |
