About Frank Marafiote
I have numerous interests (probably too many!) and try to write about them as much as I can. I publish several blogs and web sites and also write copy for other online publishers and businesses.
My writing regularly appears in the Hillary Clinton Quarterly, A Rake's Progress, Garden Reporter, and "Drive A Sailboat."
My great passion has always been flying -- I soloed when I was 16 and eventually became a licensed private pilot. For medical reasons I can't fly real airplanes anymore but I do fly online for a virtual airline called the "Flying Tigers Group." Most of my flights are with VATSIM, which provides real-time air traffic control services. I get to live out my fantasy as a Boeing 737 pilot!
For most of the past 20 years, I was the owner of a marketing consulting firm, Emerge Communications. I recently retired from consulting and closed Emerge to "pursue other opportunities."
To paraphrase the brilliant writer, Grace Paley, most of this is true because I wrote it.
