In addition to his duties at Strategic MHP Fund, Frank co-owns Mobile Home University, which is the leader in educational information on the mobile home park industry, and provides six classes per year on mobile home park acquisitions and operations. Virtually all of the industry-specific lenders, brokers, buyers – even the children of the largest portfolio owners in the U.S. – have attended these classes.

Genevieve, Missouri, where he volunteers as President of the Landmarks Association and serves on the Board of the Valle Catholic School.
