| Raised in Greenville County, Stephen had a typical Upcountry childhood. His mom was a teacher at Bob Jones Elementary School, where Stephen attended before eventually graduating from K5 - college. He's an Eagle Scout and developed a love for bluegrass music, which he enjoys playing on the guitar and mandolin.
Stephen is a business owner. (He inherited his entrepreneurial spirit from his grandparents; his grandmother even owned a chain of successful drive-in movie theatres in the 1970s). He founded and is the principal at Magnolia Risk Solutions, a commercial insurance agency that helps businesses manage risk.
Stephen met his wife, Jessica Crawford, back in sixth grade. They began dating as young adults and married in 2010. Jessica keeps busy homeschooling their son Jackson and daughters Addison, Emmy Lou, and Ellie Mae. The Franks are members at and actively involved in Ridgewood Church in Greer. The kids all share their dad's love of music, and like playing with the family's adopted shelter puppy "Hampton."
When he has time, Stephen enjoys hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing-anything that allows him to indulge his love of the outdoors. |
