After high school, Frank went to the University of Pittsburgh for pharmacy school and with his very first paycheck bought the machines that kickstarted a passion for detailed craftsmanship and led him to establish his own business, specializing in custom cabinetry.

He believes that every piece of wood holds an untold story, and through his meticulous work, he brings that story to life.
