Frank's Story
After high school, I finished a math degree at Hamline U (BA 1969), then did graduate work at University of Minnesota, Mpls (MS, PhD 1975); met and, in 1968, married Kathryn while at Hamline. We invested considerable time and effort in three sons, born 1971, 1975, 1979, and now they are all grown and through school.
Became a disciple of Jesus in 1974, through the testimony and counsel of a student at Univ of MN, Ron Larsen. Soon, Kathryn joined me in this decision and we've been involved in various congregations and ministries over the years, including home schooling our youngest son from middle school through high school before sending him off like the others to complete a college course of study.
After finishing a disseration on a topic in analytic number theory, I taught college math, statistics, and computer science for six years at Bethel College in St. Paul, then began an actuarial career, working for two life insurance companies (CUNA Mutual, Madison WI; ITT Life, Mpls), a Property-...Expand for more
Casualty company (St. Paul Fire & Marine), and since 1989, a mortgage guarantee insurance company (RMIC Corp) in Winston-Salem, NC.
In this last position, the work has been more like securities analysis than insurance (tracking regional housing markets, the housing finance industry, credit markets, and general economy to monitor the risk of insuring residential home mortgages), so I've gradually shifted from being an "insurance engineer" to being a "financial engineer". The financial wreckage of the past few years has created a challenge to learn from the mess, clean it up, and develop a better framework for governing economic activity and supporting the division of labor which makes it possible to have a wealthy and productive nation.
It's definitely a "lifetime learning required" kind of role, making it an about ideal mix of scholarly and commercial work. If success is defined as "persuading someone to pay you to do something you enjoy doing", then I guess I'm successful.
Life is good.
