Hi, I'm Frank. I grew up in Seattle, spent half a decade in Vermont, and now reside in Lansing, Michigan. Lansing is a small midwest city that has hot summers and cold winters. Thankfully, it also stays open late.

I write about video games for a living, on a freelance basis. Really! For more on that, click one of the links below. For everything else related to Frank Provo, click one of the links up top.

Before jumping into this gig "professionally," I contributed fan reviews to Dave's Sega Saturn Page and spouted missives to anyone that came into the #vidgames IRC channel. Hanging out in that channel led me to meet Peter Bartholow, who, in turn, convinced Jeff and James at GameSpot to give me a shot. Soon after, I quit my day job and dove head-first into the wild world of freelance writers.
