Team Biographical Information

Frank
first earned his pilots license in 1978 flying gliders. With his first balloon ride
ten years later he was instantly hooked. He purchased his first balloon in 1989 and
his first brand new balloon system in 1990. Frank was the 1998 and 1999 State Champion
Balloonist and also holds the 1998 club long jump record for the longest flight within the
borders of Connecticut, with a flight of 48.6 miles, his longest flight being 68
miles. Frank and his wife
Barbara
operate a Hot Air Balloon Ride business called AdVenture Balloon Co. out of Plymouth CT
USA. Together they enjoy giving tethered balloon rides at Balloon Festivals because
it introduces the sights and sounds of ballooning to so many people.
Along
with the pure joy of flying they particularly enjoy the camaraderie within the ballooning
community and the close knit teamwork of their family and friends.
