Hey! My name’s Carl Franke. I’m a husband to an amazing photographer and a Gen X father of two kiddos that I adore, living the Philly suburban life and asking myself, well, how did I get here?
This site is a place for me to showcase my digital passions and present observations in the everchanging world of marketing.
BLIZZARD 96 (2023) is my second novel, the follow up to Be Home By Dinner (2019). Both stories are of the suspense fiction genre, with the latter also being a coming-of-age story.
I also compose electronic music with synthesizers, pianos, drum machines and software. Music is my great motivator, grounding tool, stress diminisher, inner reflective analyzer and tranquil blanket. I’m chipping away at my basement setup and trying to record more. Discovering bands is an endless passion.
I work for a fantastic property management company called Scully Company and am always reading up on new digital marketing strategies and enjoy testing any of the dozens of AI tools that seem fit.
