Biography

Born in Santa Barbara, raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles (Highland Park) Frankie was determined to live life as a bum skateboarder. Realizing he was broke and happy, he tried college. And during his studies at California State University Los Angeles he found out he was still broke... and now a little bit confused. It was not until after college, that he realized the passion and creativity of skateboarding could be applied to anything. Whether changing diapers or film making, life was beautiful when applied to them. He snuck into the studios and learned the trade and started his path in the commercial world. The short format of the 90's Music Video era, lead his path to MTV and started him in long format television. The "bum skateboarder" that Frankie wanted to be in life, turned into a career as a professional in the entertainment industry for over 25 years. If you are lucky, Frankie can still be found, pushing through the streets of Los Angeles, popping ollies and kick flipping.
