Frank joined Toastmasters International in 1986 in Fort Worth, Texas (District 25) and has been an active and dedicated member ever since. He has served in several leadership roles, including Lieutenant Governor of Education and Training and District Governor.

Frank met his wife through Toastmasters in 1991, and together they have continued to share their passion for communication and leadership development. For more than two decades, they have volunteered as mentors for Toastmasters Gavel Clubs—supporting members at the Jessup Correctional Facility for Women for five years, a men’s facility for fifteen years, and most recently, helping to establish a program at the Howard County Detention Center for three years.

Frank retired from Northrop Grumman after a 31-year career as a Field Engineer, working on radar systems for fighter aircraft in Texas, Utah, California, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and the Netherlands. He also spent five years as a civilian aboard several U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, providing radar support at sea.

An avid traveler, Frank and his wife have visited all 50 U.S. states and their capitals, and have explored 115 countries since 2001. His favorite destination is China, while Karen's favorite is Italy.

Frank’s home club is the Northrop Grumman Gaveliers (#3160/D18), where he has been a proud member for more than 34 years.
