Frank had always collected things, even as a young child. His passion in collecting began when he enrolled at Davenport’s Sudlow Intermediate School. He collected rocks, beer cans, stamps, and coins, among other items.
From his house, Frank would follow the train tracks to the community of East Davenport, where he would frequently come upon abandoned goods left behind by railroad vagrants.
He has always had a talent for unearthing treasure among abandoned objects, and his abilities eventually brought him the highly regarded role in the television series American Picker. What had begun as a childhood pastime for him became a full-time passion.
