He then entered the field of public education where he co-founded innovative high school programs in Chelsea, Massachusetts.

In 2008, after the premature birth of his three children, and the death of his daughter, he turned to writing as a sacred practice to deal with his heart's devastation. Writing is now his ultimate passion, and he is excited to be an author in the second act of his life. Frank was born in Boston and is proud of his Honduran and Italian heritage. He lives in Lynn, Massachusetts, with his sons Francesco and Leonardo. Read More Read Less
