About Frank
I live to bring esoteric individuals, tales, and events from the past forward for history enthusiasts of all ages and walks of life. All of my publications have been geared toward being entertaining, engaging, and informative. I have had the opportunity to write over 40 popular and academic publications from the time of my graduation from Cleveland State University in May of 2014. I currently contribute online articles to War History Online, We Are The Mighty, and Emerging Civil War.
I am a proud alumnus of both John Carroll University (2010) and Cleveland State University (2014). My graduate research at Cleveland State University chiefly dealt with the psychological experiences of volunteer soldiers during the U.S.-Mexican War, nineteenth century military reforms in the Ottoman Empire, and the history of death and cemeteries in the North America (and their aid in historical research).
The research aspect of writing over the years has been my favorite pursuit, giving me the opportunity to draw from a wide variety of primary and secondary sources stored in libraries, online collections, and archives from around the world. Nothing is more satisfying then taking a rough idea or topic, and developing it into a high-quality article.
Valentine Baker’s Heroic Stand at Tashkessen 1877 (my first book) is set for release in May 2017. Working a full-time job, absences from my family, and self-doubt in my own writing ability at times threatened to disrupt the project, but I remained determined to complete it. It has been an excellent learning experience for me as a scholar and aided in helping me find out more about myself as a person. I am pleased to be able to present this little-known saga to my readers.
My hobbies include traveling with my wife to unique places (mostly historical), wargaming, antique collecting and reading. My father has been an antique dealer for 20+ years, and my contact with antiques and collectibles has been constant for decades. I am always interested in collaborating with new publications or organizations.
