OUR STORY

 ​Picture this: It’s 2022, and I’m in Trier, Germany, sipping coffee with my buddy Marco and his two-year-old Hungarian Vizsla. This dog—oh man, with his soulful eyes and boundless energy—was like a furry superhero stealing my heart faster than you can say “Good Boy.” I’d never seen a Vizsla before, but I knew right then I needed one in my life. Problem? I was a traveling salesman clocking 40,000 highway miles a year, crashing in hotels, and working weekends like I was auditioning for a road warrior movie. Not exactly puppy-parent material.

 

But let’s rewind. At 22, I jetted off to Tokyo with nothing but youthful optimism and a GPS that might as well have been a paper map. Three years teaching English in Japan kicked off a 12-year global adventure, collecting passport stamps like a kid with Pokémon cards. Fast forward to 2016, I’m back in the States, charming doctors with my wit and selling medical lasers—yep, those zappy machines for hair removal and skin magic. I was pretty darn good at it, if I do say so myself, but a decade in, my heart wasn’t in blasting follicles. It was with dogs, wagging tails, and the dream of a life less… laser'y.

​

So, I unplugged from the corporate matrix and said, “No one is going to pay me to do what I actually want to do all day?” Enter Frank &The Driver, a dog park shuttle service that’s all about giving your pup the ultimate playdate in Boca Grande, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Englewood, Venice, and North Port. Picture this, a dog-loving Vizsla owner, both wildly enthusiastic about chauffeuring your furry friends for an hour or so of park fun.

​

I’m not perfect—my Jeopardy! guesses are the stuff of legend (spoiler: I’d lose to a chew toy). But I’m smart enough to know dogs bring joy money can’t buy. That’s why we’ve got an affordable subscription model letting your pup socialize, run, and maybe make a new bestie at the dog park. No top-dollar nonsense—just pure, tail-wagging fun. My daily grind? It’s now all about quality time with our four-legged pals, and I’m stoked to share that with you.
