Frank Selden came to a cemetery ready to end his life and walked away with one question; “What if my actions in this life affect what comes next?” In his soon-to-be-realeased autobiography he shares his candid account of that night and the years that followed. A life rebuilt, a faith questioned and reshaped, and the slow, intentional work of learning to live again with eternity in mind.

A former Army National Guard officer and JAG detachment veteran, Frank spent decades balancing deployments with law school, then built a specialty practice in high‑stakes tax and estate work. He founded a consulting firm that helped thousands of entrepreneurs and small business owners navigate complex retirement and corporate structures, creating over 2,000 ROBS corporations with a spotless IRS track record, and earned a reputation for listening closely, solving tough problems, and putting relationships before volume.

Before the illness that nearly ended him, Frank was a respected tax attorney, speaker, and advisor known for clarity under pressure. After a collapse from chronic, late‑stage Epstein‑Barr and related complications, he stepped away from full‑time practice and began a long recovery that forced him to rethink identity, purpose, and what “success” really means. That work led him into trauma‑informed men’s work, functional medicine, and an honest, public reckoning with the moral injuries of service.

In recent years he has also trained and been ordained through the International Metaphysical Ministries in Sedona, AZ (Reverend, 2022) and earned a Doctor of Divinity (2024), credentials that reflect his decades of study and pastoral work alongside his practical recovery work.

Frank has self‑published several shorter works, including The Suicide Solution and three ROBS business books. He has advised and taught small business owners on practical ways to fund and steward enterprises from the inside out. 

He and his wife and split their time between the Pacific Northwest, and Costa Rica. Frank stays near the water when he can, and writes to help others who are living with chronic illness, pain, mental‑health struggles, and those who have asked the same esoteric question he once asked: what comes next?
