About Frank

A software founder who's spent four decades building things himself.

Frank started Maysoft at 24, with no computer-science background. Chemistry at what’s now UMass Lowell, MBA from Isenberg in 1982. Less than a year at Colgate-Palmolive, then a decade consulting in the early days of personal computing.

I spent my early career bringing computers into businesses that had never touched one — and watched productivity surge and costs fall. Now I’m AI-enabling those same systems.

In 2000 he built SpamSentinel for Lotus Notes. That product carried the business for fifteen years. Karate since college under Sensei Kazumi Tabata; black belt on the third attempt. Married since 1989, four children, Boston to Santa Barbara in 2015. A wood-fired oven since 2009 — more than 5,000 pizzas, dough included.

Iris was drafted in 2018 and finished after ChatGPT made the bot believable. Defeating the Enemy Within is the book that came from two decades of running a company and working through the fear that comes with it.
