About Me

Hello. Welcome to “Life and Miles”. I’m Frank Spires. I’m glad you dropped in. Can I tell you a little about myself? I’m an aspiring writer who enjoys sharing stories, thoughts, life experiences, and so forth. I especially enjoy writing about what I’ve learned and what I have thought about over the course of my life. My hobbies include not only writing, but reading, traveling and taking care of my little fish pond.
I’m a Certified Public Accountant and own and operate a small practice to pay the bills. I love what I do for a living as it gives me a chance to help small businesses and individuals with income tax and other small business matters. (Don’t worry, I won’t be writing about those kinds of things here!). I’m blessed with a great team who have been with me for a number of years. I often tell people, truthfully, that the office runs better when I’m not there!
I come from very humble beginnings and have been blessed to travel and do things beyond what I could have ever imagined. I’ll share about those things on a regular basis at this site.
I have been married to the love of my life since I was 20. I think that means I’ve been married for more than 49 years. My wife and I have six children (three born to us, along with their spouses) and seven grandchildren. Who knows? I may share a few words from them from time to time. They both amuse and challenge me.
Most importantly, I am a follower of Christ and teach a group of men on Sunday mornings. My writings and my life are strongly influenced by my faith. I’ve not arrived. I’m a daily repenter, thankful that Christ made a way for me to serve Him and give me the assurance of eternal life. And while I won’t address my walk with Christ specifically on this site, I will do so on our sister site, “Life and Grace”. You can link there from here.
That’s probably more about me than you wanted to know, but there it is anyway. Thank you again for dropping in. And as the journey continues, I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
