Upon graduation from the United States Air Force Academy, he flew single and multi-engine planes for 6 years performing weather reconnaissance. After leaving the Air Force, Frank obtained degrees in Forestry and Ecology and worked in Northern Idaho. He continued his schooling at Colorado State where he concentrated on statistics and computers for analysis of satellite imagery for his doctoral program. He worked at NASA as a scientist, then he joined the corporate world to apply his scientific knowledge and experience. Because Frank enjoys communicating with and supporting the customer, eventually he moved to sales and marketing and became the North American Sales Manager in his field of digital image processing of satellite data.
