Co-Founder — Author Relations
My name is Frank. I attended SUNY Oswego and studied business administration. Prior to college, I was a co-founder of a sound and lighting production company, providing everything from live sound reinforcement, theatrical and concert lighting, staging, live video production, and other services to musicians, concert venues, local schools and professional theatrical productions. During this time I also worked with a regional concert production company, Audio Images, in which I helped provide the same services for regional and national touring acts.
Also, at the same time, I had worked for Whirlwind Audio, where I actually manufactured the cables and custom audio panels that touring productions used nationwide. After college, I joined a nationally franchised commercial window cleaning company, rising through the ranks as lead cleaner, trainer, commercial sales rep, office manager and then finally operations manager of the company.
Using my experience and business knowledge, I purchased a local coffee shop in downtown Rochester, NY, and ran the business for 2 years, before selling it to a new investor.
After selling the coffee shop, I spent my time obtaining my Class A commercial license to become a truck driver, so that I could work with my friend I had previously started the event production company with. For 10 years now I have been at the same commercial food service company, Palmer Foods out of Rochester, NY. I have been married now for 12 years, and have 2 big, lovable dogs.
