Frank and his wife Nilsa have been married for 33 years and are the proud parents of Laura (24). Professionally, Frank has built and renovated 44 ocean-front mansions with an average selling price of $44M. He is known as a real artist with a flair for creating these one of a kind master pieces and for the way he markets them.

Frank is also the best-selling author of eight books in 5 different genres. In reverse chronologicle order they are:
  • Adversitology: Overcoming Adversity When You’re Hanging On By A Thread (March 2023)
  • Aspire: How To Create Your Own Reality And Alter Your DNA (November 2021)
  • The Other Thief: A Collision Of Love, Flesh & Faith (September 2018)
  • The Tap (February 2009)

  • Make It Big: 49 Secrets For Building A Life Of Extreme Success (January 2002)
Frank is also a self described philanthro-capitalist and co-founder of the Caring House Project, a 501c3 non-profit organization, which has built 30 self-sustaining villages serving 13K children and their families in Haiti over the past 20 years. Each of the villages has 50 homes, a daycare center, community center, school, clinic and church.

On a personal level Frank is a runner and has competed in a number of races including 12 Badwater135 ultramarathons, finishing seven times. The Badwater135, which takes place annually in July in the scorching summer heat in Death Valley, CA is described by National Geographic as ‘the world’s toughest footrace.’

Also, in 2020 Frank was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), which was a near death experience. One of the techniques Frank used to overcome this life threating disease was to disidentify it.

While Frank is not a parent of a child with special needs, he has a lot to offer parents and specifically dads on how to overcome adversity.

It’s a fascinating story and it’s here on this week’s episode of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast.

Special Fathers Network -SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
