Frankie was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan but now calls Salt Lake City his official home away from home. He fell in love with Utah two weeks after moving here in 1997. He felt like Utah was home. Maybe it's because he has family who settled in Carbon County in the early 1900's. Frankie married his wife Tammy in 2014. He moved his parents here, from Detroit, in 2013. His dad passed away in 2016 right before their son Axel was born. They have a Chihuahua named Sheila and a mutt named Rusty. Both are rescue pups. Frankie loves spending time with his family, hiking Big, Little and Millcreek Canyons, hunting for snakes and listening to records with his son Axel. He also loves spending time at their cabin, ATV rides in the mountains and soaking up EVERYTHING Utah has to offer. Frankie's an ambassador for the state of Utah. Some other things that make Frankie tick, are photography, exploring the Everglades, traveling, vinyl records, listening to music and tinkering around with his guitar and with his son Axel's drum set. Some of their favorite foods are everything from sushi to grabbing burgers at Cotton Bottom. When they're spending time at their cabin in Heber, they're enjoying everything the Heber Valley has to offer. Maybe grabbing shakes and burgers at The Dairy Keen, homemade gelato at The Spin Cafe or grabbing dinner at Cafe Galleria or Lola's in Midway after hiking one of the nearby trails. Did we mention Frankie loves Utah?
