Jessica Hardeman

Frank was such a pleasure to work with! He is an excellent advocate for the students at Auburn, and as a result, we hired some great candidates. He always goes above and beyond, making sure we always had what we needed before we needed it. Frank is definitely one of the reasons I will miss working in the Atlanta office of KPMG.

Andy Waid

Frank is an excellent CFO with impeccable character and integrity. While having a great skill set and mind for the financial aspects of a business, Frank has equal skills as a leader and strong individual.
