Born and raised in Chicago, Frank lived in New York City, Detroit, Connecticut and Bavaria, Germany, before moving to Arizona in the late 1990s.
In 1999 he co-founded the branding agency Six Degrees in Scottsdale, which he leads as CEO. Six Degrees serves national and international clients with branding, advertising and market research services. Before coming to Arizona, Frank held corporate positions at General Motors and Pfizer and served as a Managing Partner at Interbrand New York and VP of Global Brand Research at Opinion Research Corporation. His brand-building experience covers various sectors including hospitality, financial, medical device, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, automotive, technology—and in one notable exception—the re-branding of sovereign nation state. Frank’s professional work has taken him to 17 countries on four continents.
Frank is married to Estella, a Registered Oncology Nurse at Honor Health. The two met at Knox College and have two adult sons, Philip and Avery. Frank’s hobbies include international travel, the culinary arts & wine and, occasionally, car racing. Frank holds a doctorate in psychology from Yale University and speaks fluent German.
