manages the STK Components team — a ragtag bunch of misfits who won’t give up until every developer and engineer has AGI’s software in their development arsenal. Frank joined AGI in 1996 as a software engineer. He has worked on several products and contributed to CesiumGS’s web visualization capabilities. Before joining AGI, Frank worked for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space, where he performed trajectory design, performance analysis, and satellite operations support. Frank is an inventor and co-inventor of two U.S. patents and is a member of several technical organizations, including the AAS, AIAA, and IEEE. Frank’s education includes a B.S. in aerospace engineering from Penn State University and non-degree studies in applied mathematics at the University of California. In his personal time, Frank enjoys helping his kids with their mathematics and music studies. He also enjoys taking every opportunity to remind his children that their father is a rocket scientist.
