Frank has seen a lot of the world since he left his parents' farm in Hubbertville, Alabama in 1982. Enlisting in the United States Navy, Frank worked his way up, receiving a full
scholarship to Auburn University and achieving his current rank of Lieutenant.
Frank has sailed 6 of the 7 seas, served two tours in the Persian Gulf War and earned three Navy Achievement Medals
and a Navy Commendation Medal. Acknowledging his ship handling and naval engineering skills, he was also qualified as an Officer of the Deck and Engineering Officer.
After Frank left active duty in 1992, he attended the University of Florida College of Law and was fortunate enough to secure a position with Charlie's firm where he is an associate in the
litigation department, specializing in construction law.
When not working, Frank enjoys time spent with his wife, Lauren, and their four daughters,
Peyton, Maegan, Bailey and Alexis. He also is an accomplished deep sea fisherman and backpacker.
When asked the Millennium Odyssey, Frank replied, in keeping with nautical tradition, " If
you must be, be one with the sea! "
