Frank is a leader who knows how to engage a team in a positive vision towards great purposes. I’ve witnessed this in his role as a Rotarian Leader, as an Hospital Administrator at the Welland Hospital, where I first met him in 1995 and in his community initiatives for the raising of the iconic Pelham arches and his dedication to Wellspring Niagara.

Frank gets the job done.
