Frank Garcia
President & CHEIF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Visionary leader that oversees all aspects of operations, strategic planning, and business development, drawing upon 20 years of experience in baseball, softball, business management, and entrepreneurship. He is Rapsodo Hitting and Pitching Certified and coaches Pinto and Shetland divisions at Escondido Youth Baseball Pony League.
He is the father of two young athletes, husband to a functional nurse practitioner, and son to a navy veteran dad and entrepreneur mom. He’s immersed himself in entrepreneurship and leadership his whole life. Graduated from CSUSM’s College of Business and established the Entrepreneurship Society and was elected President while winning innovation challenges and pitch competitions.
While navigating fatherhood, managing multiple startups, pandemic lockdowns, and living a very physically active lifestyle, Frank has always made time for his passion in baseball and softball.
Watching his boys grow up, teaching them, and seeing them follow in the joy of playing sports, he’s found a new rewarding calling in coaching.
He says, “Coaching my boys was one thing, but developing an entire team can be challenging. Seeing a team develop over the course of a season has become rewarding and addicting. This is what has inspired the opening of Dingers. For the next chapter in this journey of life, this is my opportunity to Step Up To The Plate.”
A fun fact about Frank is that his son, Frank III, is named after his father Frank Sr and shares the same birthday and month as Sr.
