Frank’s journey began in the humble surroundings of Maui, where he took his first entrepreneurial steps by selling spam musubis to fund his passion for fishing. But after high school, life seemed to push him into a conventional path—work or college.

He chose work, diving into the excavation industry and aiming for the top: a blade operator, a coveted role in construction. But everything changed when he moved to Dallas. Thrust into a booming environment far from his comfort zone, Frank saw the explosive growth of the DFW area and knew he had to be part of it. It was in this whirlwind of opportunity that he found his true calling: real estate.
