Profile: Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, Frank “T.J.” Mackey is the son of Earl and Lily Partridge. After the divorce of his parents, Frank moved in with his mom in Tarzana shortly before she died of cancer. He then attended Van Nuys High School. He subsequently audited several classes in Psychology at the University of California – Berkley and University of California – Los Angeles, but, being unable to afford tuition, never earned an actual degree. It was after witnessing many problems in his own life that Frank developed the now famous “Seduce and Destroy” lesson series. In the series, he helped men gain control of their world through personal gratification. Many believed his series to be misogynistic. After the death of his father Earl, Frank decided to retire the Seduce and Destroy series in favor of a more subdued motivational method he co-developed with his step mom Linda. He currently goes on speaking tours around the country, drawing huge crowds. Despite his extremely busy schedule, Frank always seems to find time to write stories for Lush for Life.
