NUMBER OF BROTHERS/SISTERS YOU HAVE: 3 –Two brothers named Zip & Zilch and a sis named Nada…I’m the youngest….just joking : ) I’m an ONLY child! (which explains why I’m always on-the-go and wanting to meet new people all the time)LOOK ALIKE: The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), sorta/kinda….ok, only maybe when I raise one eyebrow up, wear sunglasses and give my little cousin a body slam on the living room couch. However, I do have a fake Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wrestling license I like to carry around with me as a form of secondary ID. Just ask me about it and I’ll show it to you sometime.YOUR CHILDHOOD HERO: - Whatcha talkin’ about Willis?! – Gary Coleman

NAME OF YOUR FAVORITE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER. WHAT MADE HIM/HER SPECIAL?: Ms. Meadows – She was the coolest teacher I’ve ever had because on the first day of school (Kindergarten), I pee’d in the middle of “roll call” and didn’t get in trouble for it. Where was the Swiffer back then when you needed it? True story too. Sorry, no pictures to prove it.
DID YOU HAVE A NICKNAME GROWING UP? IF SO, WHAT WAS IT?: Ages 5 – 10: Franco American (like the canned Spaghetti-O’s pasta brand) Move over Chef Boyaredee! Sure hated that nickname.

FIRST RADIO JOB. WHEN/WHERE/WHAT?: In 1999 worked for Radio Disney AM 1310 KMKY in San Francisco as the production/promotions manager and local on-air personality known as “Freestyle” Franco. Many folks still call me “Freestyle” to this day. It was a cool radio station for kids. I got to meet a lot of pop bands like N*Sync & Backstreet Boys. And I also got to cover the red carpet events in LA for the re-releases of the Lion King & Mary Poppins. I also had a stint on Hot 98.7 FM KSXY in Santa Rosa, doing on-air on the weekends.
IF YOU WEREN’T ON THE AIR, WHAT JOB WOULD YOU HAVE & WHY?: I would either be a motivational speaker traveling around the world inspiring people or perhaps become a professional Game Show contestant, jumping from game show to game show, trying to win money & prizes. Ok, maybe 1 out of 2 is more realistic. Honestly, I would probably like to have my own production company or talent agency someday because I’m extremely creative and I also think I can find new talent.
WORST JOB EVER? My first job was my worst job ever. I worked at the neighborhood KFC when I was 16 years old and did every type of job imaginable while I worked there; from the chicken cook to the front register boy. By the way, you don’t want to know how the “gravy” is made over there. It’s the Colonel’s secret recipe, that’s for sure.
