Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't

About Me

My name is Frankie Canant. I am married to the love of my life, Joy. I am a police officer, she is a legal secretary. I am chaos, she is organization. She is my balance, and I love her more than I can tell you here. We have 2 wonderful sons, whom I love without limitations: Matt and Keegan.

I do my best to maintain a stress-free life, though at times that isn't easy. I've been into all types of protective services during my life, including volunteer firefighter, bouncer, bodyguard and my most recurring role as a police officer. I've had custody of my son since he was 3 years old, and he has kept me going when I was down to rock bottom. He makes me proud, and I love him dearly. I was blessed by God in January 2007 to marry my soulmate and to gain a loving and joyous step-son as well. My wife, Joy, makes every day worth living and our boys are the icing on my life's cake.-Frankie

Heroes:

My Dad, my wife (she's my anchor), all military veterans and children. Children are the hope of the world. I'm very proud of my son, who is also a member of my dojo; he inspires me and makes me proud. My step-son keeps me laughing and smiling, even on some days when that's no easy task.Be who you are and SAY WHAT YOU FEEL because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Aikido

Aikido, at its center, is an all-encompassing belief in the victory of love and a harmony that unites our hearts with the loving heart of God.
