“TRUE PROFESSIONAL” and “POSITIVELY PASSIONATE” are words that best describe Frank!  A respected leader in the Business Events Industry for over 25 years, his extensive sales and hospitality background includes working with Delta Hotels and Resorts as Director, National Sales as well as other Sales Leadership positions with Interstate Hotels and Resorts, IHG and Accor. 

Frank enjoys helping clients find solutions to their needs through his expertise and vast industry network.  Frank believes in giving back and stays engaged through MPI, CSAE and CSTA and serves on the Program Advisory Committee for the Centre for Hospitality & Culinary Arts at George Brown College. He is blessed with a beautiful family of 3 kids (Christina, Joseph and Milena) and supportive spouse Palma.  He balances his busy work, life schedule enjoying the wild outdoors and appreciates what nature has to offer by creating tasty smoked fish, meats and charcuterie.  Sometimes he is even able to squeeze in a golf game or two.

Why did you choose the meetings and conventions industry as a career - The meetings and conventions industry was the perfect “match” for me.  It’s dynamic, fast paced and attracts great people.  The industry actually found me and I went along for the ride.  Time flies when you’re having fun!

What is your favourite indoor/outdoor activity - I enjoy the outdoors.  Whether I am golfing, hiking, fishing or hunting being outdoors is therapeutic and allows me to escape and rejuvenate after a hectic work week.

What is your favourite form of exercise - Running and hiking have to be my favourites… I would also add in golf, but for some, this sport is not considered exercise.

Who do you admire most in life - My biggest admiration in life is my family - my 3 kids (Christina, Joseph and Milena) and my supportive spouse Palma.
