Frank is a member of the Saint Louis Class of 1938. He was born in Kula, Maui and attended public schools in Maui, before coming to Honolulu to attend Saint Louis College. After graduating from Saint Louis College he continued his education at LaSalle Extension University and the University of Hawaii. His first job after college was with A.D. Castro & Company. His career took him to Cameron & Johnstone CPA’s in 1946 as a junior accountant from 1947 – 1950; senior accountant 1950 – 1963, and managing partner of a redwood lumber mill in Cloverdale, California in 1950. He then became a partner with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Company CPA’s (successor firm through merger of Cameron Tennent & Dunn) since 1963. He received CPA certification in 1963.

His affiliations include membership in the American Institute of CPA’s, Hawaii Society of CPA’s, National Association of Accountants, St. Louis Alumni Association, and a faithful member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church.

He was appointed by the Honorable John A. Burns, former Governor of Hawaii as the CPA member of the Board of Accountants, whose primary function was to administer the CPA examinations for the State of Hawaii.

Some time in the 1960’s, the Trustees at Saint Louis appointed Frank to a special committee along with Herman Lemke. Their mission was to advise and guide the Brothers at Saint Louis College regarding matters relating to certain activities of the School. It was during that time, that Saint Louis accepted a gift from Kamehameha Schools for $1.00, which was a metal structure to be installed at Kalaepohaku. You may recall this transaction, which is now known as the Gerber Field House. The project fell victim to escalating costs stemming from several change orders. The original contract called for a local construction company to install the building for $250,000.00; however, the price rose to between $500,000.00 and $700,00.00 due to additional enhancements, which caused a serious financial hardship and a problem for Saint Louis. To overcome this serious financial burden and problem that Saint Louis High School faced, Frank negotiated with a building company to construct the high-rise apartment building on an unused area of the campus, which is now the Regency Park. The project was designed to retain the land for the Marianists, while providing lease rental income to the school. Additionally, Frank negotiated another lease with City Mill for the property at the corner of St. Louis Heights Drive and Waialae Avenue.

After retiring from Peat, Marwick & Mitchell, Frank served as Executive Vice President for several construction companies involved in road construction projects on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Lanai, Kauai, Hawaii and Kahoolawe.
