Frank grew up in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. After graduating from Wharton Undergrad in 1998, he moved to Boston to work as an equity portfolio manager at Wellington Management, where he is a Partner. In addition to serving on the Investment Committee of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Foundation, he serves on the Parish Council of Taxiarchae/Archangels, the Board of the Orthodox Christian Missions Center (OCMC), and the Archdiocesan Council.

Anastasia grew up in Eagle River, Alaska. After majoring in opera at the University of Texas and University of Alaska, she moved to Boston and earned her Master’s in Special Education from Leslie University. Through a mutual friend who was a seminarian, they met for the first time at Hellenic College/Holy Cross, and later married in 2006. Anastasia worked as an elementary school teacher before choosing to stay home and raise their children Demetri and Christiana. They are also members of Leadership 100.

“We want to support the Ecumenical Patriarchate because it embodies our passion for our Greek Orthodox Christian Faith and Hellenic heritage. The Mother Church of Constantinople also represents part of Frank’s ancestral homeland, as his maternal grandmother’s parents were from Peramos, which was on the Peninsula of Kyzikos on the Sea of Marmara.”
