MEMBER

Frank brings expertise in storytelling, product development, and audience engagement to his role as Vice President of Marketing and Fundraising Strategy at CDP, where he leads mail and digital fundraising for more than 55 public media stations nationwide. His path to public media wound through film production and brand development – he’s driven the Ghostbusters’ Ectomobile, put out pyrotechnic fires and named products you likely use every day – experiences that shaped his belief in the power of story and connection.

He applies those lessons from narrative craft and consumer psychology to help stations inspire stronger support for local storytelling. A 12-year Arlington resident, Frank holds a B.S. in Motion Pictures from the University of Miami and an MBA in Marketing from Boston College.
