Frank Creel
The Unrepentant Traditionalist

Frank Creel received his B.A. in Journalism-Social Science from St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer, Indiana, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the Social Sciences Division of the University of Chicago.
 
Dr. Creel served as an English teacher in the Peace Corps in Turkey. He remains fluent in the Turkish language; reads Turkish in the Arabic script; and has a reading knowledge of Latin, French, and German. He served as a rifle platoon leader and staff officer with the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. His decorations include the Bronze Star and the Combat Infantryman Badge. He also worked in the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
 
Dr. Creel was a weekly columnist for the Potomac News, Woodbridge, Virginia, from 1977 to 1984. His op-ed articles have been published in the Northern Virginia Journal, the D.C. Examiner, The Washington Times, and the New York City Tribune (now defunct). In 1992, his A Trilogy of Sonnets was published pseudonymously by Christendom Press.

In 2002, Dr. Creel ran for the U.S. Congress from Virginia’s 11th district on the Constitution Party ticket against Republican Representative Tom Davis. While Davis defeated him decisively, Creel derives some satisfaction from the fact that the campaign made it impossible for Davis to pose as a pro-life Republican. 

Dr. Creel now devotes his spare time in retirement to completing two books, The Little Book of Big Choices, and The Collapse of the Northern Colossus, a “history” from the perspective of Mexico’s leading historiographer in 2084.
