Erik Kramer
I worked with Frank several times throughout my career, primarily while he was an account manager for me at Denali Software. During that period, he provided excellent product support, was creative in addressing several business issues and connected me with the requisite technical support when needed. Frank has a friendly style when approaching business relationships and readily earns the trust of his clients... an essential attribute in a high-stakes, high-risk business climate.
