Frank graduated from Mohawk College in 1988 in the Architectural Technology Program. Frank is the Supervisor of the Residential Plan Examination Section with the City of Hamilton`s Planning and Economic Development Department in the Building Division.

On the way to a New Year's Eve party in 1985, Frank was involved in a horrific automobile accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Instead of accepting the accident as a defeat, Frank rose to the challenge. Today, he is a dedicated husband, a father of 3 wonderful children and a prolific wheelchair athlete. An avid athlete before his accident, Frank has continued to participate and excel in wheelchair sports which includes golf, downhill skiing and tennis. His tennis achievements include over 30 tournament titles, seven of which were Ontario Championship titles, one Canadian Championship title, a member of two Paralympic Teams and two World Team Cup teams. His newly found golfing adventure has captured him two holes in ones, the first one in 2008 and the second in 2011.

Frank's dedication to helping other athletes in wheelchairs earned him the Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association (OWSA) Volunteer of the Year Award in both 1998 and 1999, as well as the 1999 Male Athlete of the Year Award. He has also received an Alumni of Distinction Award at Mohawk College and at his high school (Beamsville District Secondary School), a nominee for the Premiers Award in 1999 and was one of the 40 recipients of the Top 40 at 40 recognition awards for Mohawk College in 2007.

Frank was a certified Level 1 Teaching Professional in tennis, and from 1997 up until his retirement from competitive tennis in 2005 Frank was the founder, President and Teaching Coach for adults and juniors with the Hamilton Wheelchair Tennis Association. Frank enjoyed teaching wheelchair tennis to children and adults with disabilities and did some amazing fundraising to purchase tennis wheelchairs for the program that he started in Hamilton. Frank’s love for volunteering and the promotion of sports for everyone has been transferred from the tennis courts to the fairways and putting greens on the golf course. Frank now volunteers his time to teach people with disabilities how to golf through golf clinics and demonstrations. He strongly believes that it is important to encourage children and adults who have physical impairments to be as active as possible and has always been an advocate for accessibility and equality for people with physical impairments.

Frank was encouraged to attend Mohawk College by an instructor who had read an article in the Hamilton Spectator. In the article Frank mentioned that he was interested in pursuing a career in architecture. The instructor's visit to the hospital encouraged him to go to an open house and check out the program. Three years later, Frank was a graduate of Mohawk College with a full time position with the City of Hamilton.
