Launching his career at Coldwell Banker in 1986 as a Realtor, Frank Kuri swiftly moved up the ranks to acquire a real estate broker/owner license. He then expanded his career at Prudential, where he spent years honing his skills. Transitioning into mortgage banking in 1991, Kuri began as a loan originator. He skillfully maneuvered through the industry, mastering techniques in media-driven and in-house originations to build a formidable referral business. His accolades earned him the coveted position of the #1 originator at a leading national mortgage bank. His innovative streak made a big splash in 1999, when he championed the branch division model within the mortgage sector, opening an expansive network of 30 branches across 15 states and consistently closing deals of more than $750 million annually.

Outside of his career, Kuri maintains a keen interest in outdoor activities, a passion that began during childhood visits to state parks. Whether camping, mountain biking, hiking, or fishing. But Kuri's contributions aren't confined to his professional and personal pursuits. Over the past few years, he has actively participated in Operation Smile's charity events. More than just a financial supporter, he is renowned for his hands-on approach to philanthropy. He has invested his time in food kitchens, delivered meals to homeless individuals in New York City, and has consistently donated second-hand goods.
