Frank brings a powerhouse of passion for all things strategic from his impactful marketing career in the industries of hospitality, retail, agriculture, manufacturing, and more. Most recently with the parent company of Grand View Lodge and Tanque Verde Ranch for 14 years, he delivered exceptional results as the director of their in-house marketing team, making him an expert in both the industry of fun and the strategic tactics needed to build and keep momentum in a highly competitive market. He has also owned his own agency in the past and has mastered what it means to be a true partner. Frank will primarily serve our growing Brainerd market and continues to sit on the board for Explore MN, Hospitality MN, and the Brainerd Lakes Area Chamber. Outside of work, this family man is always on the lakes (effortlessly switching from boat to snowmobile) and enjoys the perks of being a self-proclaimed foodie.
