About John & Marissa

 

After all these years, our favorite adventures are still the ones we take together.

 

Welcome to our corner of the world.

 

We’re John and Marissa Frazier, and this website reflects the life we’ve built together—the careers we’ve pursued, the people we’ve been fortunate to know, the places we’ve traveled, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

 

John is a retired U.S. Navy veteran, author, and former executive. His 22-year Naval career took him around the world and included five combat deployments. Those experiences shaped his understanding of leadership, resilience, responsibility, service, and the importance of appreciating the people who share the journey.

 

After the Navy, John continued in leadership and executive roles before turning more of his attention to writing. His books explore life, resilience, relationships, change, and the unexpected lessons found in ordinary experiences.

 

Marissa brings her own meaningful journey to our story. A manager and business leader for more than 20 years, she has built her career around leadership, people, and getting things done. Today, she serves as CEO of Fathom Management, leading with the principles that have defined her professional life: integrity, accountability, strong relationships, and a genuine commitment to people.

Together, we’ve built a life that has always been about more than our careers.

 

We’re proud parents of two sons and grandparents to four grandchildren. Family is at the heart of who we are, and some of our most meaningful moments are the simple ones—spending time with our children and grandchildren, catching up with friends, traveling somewhere new, or sitting together and enjoying the moment.

 

We’re lifelong learners, outdoor enthusiasts, and travelers. We believe every person we meet has something to teach us, and that the journey is richer when we stay curious.

 

John has always enjoyed putting those lessons into words. Marissa has a gift for turning ideas into action. In many ways, that’s what makes us a good team.

 

One writes.

One leads.

Both believe in people.

 

And both believe that how you live the journey matters just as much as where it takes you.

We’re grateful for the life we’ve been given, the people who have become part of our story, and the opportunity to keep learning, working, writing, traveling, and making memories together.

 

And yes, there’s still golf.

 

John considers himself a struggling but enthusiastic golfer—a description Marissa has graciously allowed him to publish. LOL

Thanks for stopping by. We hope you’ll stay awhile.

 

Cheers!
