Frank began his career in the financial pits of the Chicago Board of Trade where he spent close to 18 years successfully trading financial futures. During his tenure as a trader he developed his own distinctive trading systems that lowered his risk while increasing his upside potential in volatile markets. He served as Chairman of the Five Year Pit committee for 8 years. His business endeavors outside of the financial commodities market began in the late 1990’s as Frank continually looked for alternative investments to move money out of the trading environment and into diverse entities. This led to Frank developing a private investment portfolio consisting of a vast array of real estate holdings as well as a very diverse set of entrepreneurial business interests. The real estate portion of his portfolio includes apartment buildings, condominiums, residential developments, commercial warehouses, a marina, several retail centers, office parks, commercial office buildings and roughly 10,000+ acres of farms, ranches, and recreational land throughout the US. He also has spent a large amount of time placing money into a very select and diverse group of business opportunities which includes many startups he has seeded from the ground up. These opportunities are in the following fields: Ag biotech, healthcare, technology, direct marketing retail, medical device companies, automobile dealerships (with in-house financing and warranty sales), two de novo regional banks, an asset management business, a professional baseball team (AA minor league team), restaurant franchises , an energy management company, and several agribusiness operations. Frank currently serves as Chairman of FSB Companies, Drive Now Auto Credit, and serves on the Board of ORIgen, Optimum Financial, and many of his other vested business entities.
