David Frank is the owner of Western Sporting. David lived and worked in the UK for eight years prior to the move to Wyoming. During that time he was Curator of Birds at Leeds Castle, Kent where he was responsible for developing a major breeding collection of exotic avian species.
This facility, founded by his own private collection, has from the very beginning experienced outstanding breeding success while remaining on view to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
During this same period David acted as Events Manager for the Zoological Society of London at London Zoo, London & Whipsnade Wild Animal Park, Bedforshire. He established the country's premier free-flight bird demonstration at Whipsnade, improved the sealion & working elephant demonstrations, created the Meet The Animals program & advised on major capital development programs. At the London Zoo he introduced the daily Animals In Action demonstration & developed a variety of other Animal Encounters where the public had the opportunity to meet keepers & their charges.
David, prior to the time in the UK, was Head Trainer/Supervisor of the Free Flight Bird Show presented at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Accompanied by the trained birds he has appeared many times on Johnny Carson's Tonite Show & numerous other television programs worldwide providing public relations opportunities for the San Diego Zoo/Wild Animal Park.
David now lives in Wyoming, USA. He enjoys flying falcons on upland game birds & waterfowl, wing shooting, fishing & the other forms of hunting the area offers. Through Western Sporting, he enjoys seeing to the literary, video and equipment needs of falconers and other sportsmen & takes great pride in offering personal quick service, the best possible prices, & the best range of products.
