Frank is a fair and honest manager. He is continuously supportive, and will do whatever it takes to help get the job done. Methodical, detailed, and patient in his thinking, he is well suited to handle any situation that may arise. Frank is a great person to work with and I have learned a lot about quality and manufacturing from him. I consider myself lucky to not only have worked for him, but also with him.
