Frank is one of those creative geniuses who are frequently found in this industry, and he first exercised his ample talents from 1945 to 1963 in his own firm called Gator Trailers. He was also into marine hardware, but his new firm Diversified Products Manufacturing soon got into making hardware for the towing industry. He has established one of the nation’s largest distributorship networks which retail his long line of products as well as his wheelift add on, called “The Scoop”, which has had wide acceptance in the trade. As a balance for his constant concentration in the creation and manufacturing of hardware Frank has had a long career of citizen support of education. He has often been honored for his devotion to creating a better educational environment in his community.
