In 1989, Frank used whatever he had learned about the business world and combined it with his creative drive to start “Mosey ‘n Me” with his wife. The website mentions that they focus and specialize in cross stitch patterns.

Trading Spaces :

Frank’s appearance on the Trading Spaces show was based on pure chance when he was filling in for a demonstrator who had fallen ill at a decorative paint convention in Nashville. A producer from Home & Garden TV happened to be in the audience and liked Frank’s wit.
Frank has described his feelings when filming the first episode as a cross between plastic surgery and a root canal. But he quickly became a fan favorite because of his wacky sense of humor and his decision to not take the show too seriously.
Frank was one of the only original designers who spoke about the series in a negative light after it ended its first run. He said, “They took a perfectly wonderful little show and beat it to death,” because of the various different spinoffs and specials.

It was confirmed that Frank would return to Trading Spaces’ reboot, which premiered in 2018 with most of the original designers alone with three new designers. This was a surprise to most people because Frank’s life after the first run of the show was quiet and uneventful, which is exactly how he liked it.
Along with his wife, Frank had his own crafts business, but his wife encouraged him to return to the show. The rerun took off, and a second season has also been confirmed.
