Frank is a former U.S. Army Combat Field Medic & Military Police, as well as a retired Law Enforcement Officer who has served as a sworn officer in New York City and Washington D.C. working as a Housing Police officer in both. He also worked as a contractor overseas from 2002 to 2010, exclusively in Asia and the Middle East. He spent his formative years between the Bronx and North Jersey, where he worked his first job at his uncle's bar, bar backing and bouncing while he was in his teens. Before moving to Oklahoma, he could be found on most pleasant weekends sitting around Union Square Park in Manhattan drinking coffee and reading, just a block from his personal sanctuary, The Strand Book Store on Broadway, where he knew most of the staff by name. He is now a licensed private detective and bounty hunter when he is not doing government work or living the dream of being a writer.
