Early in his career at Sesame Frank travelled the world as an Associate Producer & Producer on Sesame Street international co-productions in China, South Africa, Brazil, Japan, Hungary, Canada and the UK. However, when his son was diagnosed with autism 11 years ago he requested a job shift at Sesame that would keep him at home to help his wife and son. Shortly thereafter he began working as the Assistant Vice President of Format Production and later the AVP of Special Projects Production and has worn many different production hats in these two roles. Frank is also the author of the wildly popular autism blog and Facebook page “Autism Daddy”. Started in 2011, his Facebook page (www.fb.com/autismdaddy) now has over 145,000 followers and his blog (www.theautismdaddy.com) regularly gets over 1000 unique visitors per day. On his blog he talks about the realities of raising a child with special needs. His claim to fame on his blog and Facebook page is giving people a realistic, non-sugar coated look at the world inside an autism household; “the good, the bad, the pee and the poop”.
