Frank Consentino comes from a long line of military veterans, extending back even before the American Revolution. Consentino spent nearly three years at sea, crossing the Pacific Ocean four times aboard the U.S.S. Bennington CVA-20 and the U.S.S. Midway CVA-41. He had duties at ports in mainland Japan, Okinawa, Hong Kong, Wake Island, Midway Atoll, Hawaii, British Columbia, and many other exotic places.

Following his honorable service, he settled in southern New Hampshire, where he owned and operated three businesses for over 40 years, principally a X-ray sales and service company. In 2006 Consentino moved to Palm Coast with his wife, Ginette. Their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren still reside in New Hampshire. Consentino is active with the Kiwanis Club and serves as the Knights of Columbus Color Corps Commander of Corpus Christi Assembly 2810. He is also a published poet who enjoys sharing his art.
