In December 2015, Frank was presented with an Honorary Doctorate Degree, Doctor of Public Service, from The Ohio State University. In December 2015, Frank was identified as one of the "10 Most Amazing Arizonans", in a front page article in the Arizona Republic newspaper. In January 2016, Frank was identified in a Forbes Magazine article as a "Forbes Top Ten Keynote Speaker". In April 2017, Frank was presented the Unite4:Humanity Celebrity ICON Social Impact Award, joining past recipients Matthew McConaughey and Morgan Freeman. In February, 2018, Frank shared the stage with Matthew McConaughey at Universal Studios at the LA City Gala and was presented the first City Gala Hero Award. Frank's new book, "Wish Man", was re-released in September, 2018 and is available at Amazon.com. Frank's life story will soon be featured in an upcoming motion picture, "Wish Man", which completed filming in October 2017 and has completed post- production, with a scheduled release date of June 7th 2019. Further information is available on Frank's website - www.wishman1.com   RIP Brother Frank    “I believe that we all have dreams and want to believe that deep inside our souls we have a special gift and are here in this earth for something bigger. I believe that the size of that dream, desire or goal doesn’t matter if that is also what you truly believe deep down inside. When is your calling, you know it. I believe that we are all here to make a difference, that all of us have special gift to offer to this world, that we can touch other people in special ways so that we can all make this world a better place. I believe that true happiness starts when everything we do, think and feel comes from a place of gratitude and contribution, not acquisition. Keep sharing your story.
