Dave Frank’s Summary

I have been working and playing drums in the Indianapolis & surrounding areas for 16 years with some of the brightest talent and best musicians in the region. I was a full-time road musician until 1990 when I decided to settle down and start a family. I have been working in the IT Support industry full-time for the past 15 years, but I continue to play with several local bands in the evenings and weekends, and also at my church, Eastside Church of God in Anderson, IN. I love the thrill of playing music on stage and making people dance. I also enjoy the challenges of the ever-changing world of computers. I have been blessed with the ability to pick things up quickly, which has benefited me in both music and IT-related endeavors. I am very much a "people-person" and enjoy meeting and networking with new people whenever I have the opportunity. I am always in search of new challenges and new opportunities to do the things I love to earn a living and support my family.
