In the last eight years, Frank has written more than 200 magazine articles, built hundreds of precise reproduction World War Two FP-45 Liberator pistols, and provided various museums with consulting, weapons conservation, and replica weapon fabrication services. Prior to this, he earned a BA and MA in American History.

Frank landed his first professional museum job in 1996 and worked over a decade for the United States Army. As director of the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor at Fort Knox, Kentucky, his collection responsibilities included the care and interpretation of most of General George S. Patton’s personal firearms collection
