Duration: 1:59:50
 

Erik Frank is the Marketing Manager for Deschutes Brewery. In his interview, Frank discusses growing up in Harrisburg, PA, Boy Scouts and leadership, and his success in high school (which didn’t translate to success in college until he found the field of Anthropology). While in college, Frank worked as a server at Church Brew Works; it was during this work he realized beer could be a career. Recognizing he wanted a change, Frank moved to Bend, sight unseen, in the early 2000s. Frank discusses starting at Deschutes in 2002; various jobs as host, server, tour guide, etc.; and how his interests have shaped his career and new positions. He also reflects experiences working with founder Gary Fish, where Deschutes is now at 30 years, and his points of pride.
