Richie Frieman
10 books7 followersABOUT RICHIE FRIEMAN:
St. Martin's Press and Macmillan Publishing dubbed Richie Frieman a "Modern Day Renaissance Man" due to a career that spans life as an author, illustrator, artist, etiquette expert, Modern Manners Guy, entrepreneur, cartoonist, and even a champion professional wrestler. He is the #1 best-selling and award-winning author and illustrator of eight books in multiple genres, with work being sold worldwide.
Frieman's current project is his upcoming debut memoir (and eighth book), The Optimistics, about his time following three men with Young Onset Dementia/Alzheimer's (all diagnosed in their 50s) who became best friends through their diagnosis. The men decided to call themselves the Optimistics and, as a result, has become a battle cry for hundreds of thousands across the country fighting Alzheimer's and dementia. In the book, Frieman interviews dozens of other Optimistics/their Care Partners who all had to answer, "How do you stay optimistic when facing a deadly illness?" Frieman is donating 25% of his profits to the Alzheimer's Association.
"The Optimistics" debuted as a #1 New Release in all three book categories: Alzheimer's, Dementia, and Friendship, and sold out of our initial print run in the first three hours. "The Optimistics" was also #2 overall about books on Alzheimer's.
Along with his writing, Frieman is a popular artist in the Baltimore community with his original crab art sculptures all across the city called, The Charm City Crab Art Project. Outside of the arts, Frieman was the Co-Founder/CEO of Brand U Sports, an innovative sports marketing firm dedicated to connecting brands with NCAA student athletes through brand ambassador programs for Name Image Likeness (NIL) sponsorships.
