Indie Rock Recording Artist, Film Maker, Actor homegrown from Upstate NY who quickly got interested in the world film at age of 8 with making home movies, then picking up the guitar at age of 13 after seeing the film "The Crow".

Instilled from a young age with a solid support system from his parents, Frank's motivation is focused not by the temptations of partying every day and every night.
