Frank is an avid athlete; competitively playing soccer, baseball, and swimming in his youth.  As an adult, he currently snowboards, plays lacrosse and soccer, mountain bikes, and does CrossFit regularly.  Frank has taught snowboard lessons, taught swim lessons, and coached a swim team.

Frank started doing CrossFit workouts in 2008 at CrossFit Avalanche in Tahoe Vista, CA on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. After many years as an athlete under the amazing coaches there, he moved to Monterey and bought equipment to start working out with friends in the garage and driveway. Eventually the group of friends grew too large for the driveway, so Frank left the IT industry where he had worked for 14 years and became a CrossFit coach. First City CrossFit became a CrossFit affiliate in October of 2013.
