Frank grew up in California and started his musical interest playing clarinet while in the 5th grade. He then moved to Reno Nevada with his family when he was in the 7th grade. He later switched to drums and joined the marching band by the time he was a freshman in High School. While in High School, Frank had a friend named Kevin Woods who had a guitar that frank used to like to diddle around on.  Kevin would play records from Rush and some of his other favorite bands and Frank would listen and start playing along with the record.  Kevin noted the talent and told Frank he should be a guitar player.  Frank then switched to guitar and Kevin played the Bass and they formed their first band called "Blue Ice". The young band played Proms and Homecoming dances for the surrounding schools in the area. As the band began to get popular, Frank found Jesus and gave his heart to the Lord.   He was 17 years old.

After graduating from high school, Frank and a few of his Christian musician friends, Brent Speegle and DJ Nicholson, formed a band called "Commandment". this band began doing Youth events all over Nevada and California. Frank saw an Ad in Contemporary Christian Magazine CCM and came out to Pennsylvania where he got hooked up with Ray Fletcher, Band Manager for Messiah Prophet in 1986.  He was first introduced to the band during the finishing touches of the Master of the Metal Album.  He replaced Brian Nicarry as the guitar player shortly before the release of the Album.  Frank traveled with Messiah all over the US and Europe during the Master of the Metal tour in 1987.  

Messiah Prophet broke up soon after that and Frank started another band called "Triune".  Truine consisted of former members from "Voyager" Sean Regal, Shane Regal, and Brian Cromliegh.  Triune and Sardonyx played few shows together were Frank first met Tom Denlinger.  

In 1994 Ray Fletcher called Frank and told him he had the funding to do one more Messiah Prophet CD but could not get the other original members to participate.  Frank Suggested using other talented players like Sean and Shane Regal, Sam Hackenberger, David Grimes, and Michael Anthony (Sardonyx).  The CD "Colors" was the last album released by the name Messiah Prophet.
