Every Day is a New Opportunity
I had the unfortunate experience last night (as I type this) of talking with a friend of mine who is facing some personal challenges. He’s got an adult aged daughter who has made some poor life choices. He recently was able to offer her some help; some guidance; some financial assistance… and of course he did what any loving dad ...
Surviving the Zombies: Things the CDC Didn't Know
Mr. Borelli provides an intriguing epidemiological study of zombies ranging from 60,000 BC to present times drawing some startling conclusions and links to known historical events along the way. Included are previously unreported (or covered-up) zombie outbreaks, as well as information about the current zombie pandemic, and the various ways zombies are created. He pays particular attention to illustrating what ...
No Matter How Slow You Go...
I've made the observation that the older I get the more friends I have who are, seemingly all of a sudden, interested in "staying in shape." Yes, it is somewhat funny that "staying" implies they are already in good physical condition, and they're not, but it's also sad too. For that matter, it's far easier to stay in shape if ...

Make A Resolution To Give Up
Every year people make resolutions to do something or some things that they believe will somehow alter their life for the better. They resolve to quit smoking. They resolve to lose weight. They resolve to get in shape. They resolve to cut back on eating fatty foods. They resolve to drink less alcohol. They resolve to find a different job ...
Father to Son: Guidance in Following the Straight & Narrow
“Father to Son” is an instruction manual for sons on how to live life with honor, dignity, and integrity. It covers subjects across the spectrum from how to to treat people (well), to when to fight (when there’s no alternative), and what to think about money (it’s necessary, but not the end-all). While it takes a decidedly 21st century approach ...
Don't KNOCK On Opportunity's Door
I remember being taught as a boy, "Opportunity often only knocks once. Be sure to open the door." I also remember thinking, in such a childish way, "Cool! Opportunity's going to come to me. I don't have to seek it out." Of course, as I got older, it was explained to me and I learned through experience, quite often you ...

Be A Good Person...
...but don't waste time to prove it. What am I talking about? In today's world it seems, at least to me as I view the news, social media, etc., that there is a general call to perform random acts of kindness. Further, it seems as if proof of such action is somehow required - as if you're not really a ...
American Thinking
American Thinking is a collection of Frank Borelli's writings on a wide range of topics: the nature of being an American and the service-orientated nature of patriotism; the training necessary to so serve; the kinds of threats that we will need to address as patriots; the equipment (including mental equipment) we need; and a close look at the threat that ...
Enemies, Haters and Doubters
There was a time in my life when, without filter or care, I'd say whatever was on my mind. Like anyone else, some of what I said was critical of others and, although I didn't realize it, sometimes unfair. To say that I made a few enemies in my youth would be an understatement. Heck, that was before I ever ...
About Frank Borelli
A native of Cumberland, Maryland, Frank attended DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland and immediately thereafter began his law enforcement career as a Military Police Officer in the United States Army. At the age of four he had declared his desire to become a police officer. In junior high school he admitted his desire to be a writer. Just prior to enlisting in the army he knew he wanted to become a police trainer. Along with having a family, those were his dreams.
Having begun his law enforcement career as an MP, and upon receiving his first Honorable Discharge, Frank became a civilian police officer. His 25+ year career included assignments in patrol, training, youth services, investigations, task force assignments, and more. In 1989 Frank become a certified police instructor and had, at that point, made two of his dreams come true. In 1995 Frank re-entered military service as a member of the Maryland Army National Guard serving both in the infantry and combat engineers.
In addition to his police and military service, Frank began a writing career in 1999, finalizing (or actually just beginning) his third dream. With several hundred articles now published internationally, eight books and two research papers published (so far), Frank is the Editor In Chief for NewAmericanTruth.com and the Editorial Director for the Cygnus Law Enforcement Media team which runs Officer.com, Law Enforcement Technology magazine and Law Enforcement Product News magazine.
Having made all three of his career dreams a reality by the age of 35, and demonstrating a positive, motivated lifestyle, Frank was approached by several friends and work mates to become a motivational speaker. Having been the keynote speaker at several professional police events and having produced, with Steve Forgues, a book about motivational thoughts and philosophies (Above Dirt), Frank finally kicked off a motivational teacher/coach/speaker career. If you’d like Frank to speak at one of your events, send an email to frank@frankborelli.com.
