meet Frank Nuñez

Frank is a proud Vista native with deep roots in our community. His educational journey began at VAPA, formerly Santa Fe Elementary, continued through Vista Magnet, formerly Lincoln Middle School, and culminated at Vista High School. He then attended Palomar College before graduating with Honors from California State University, Northridge.

In the 1980s, as a child, Frank’s parents worked as farmers for a tomato packer and an avocado grove in the city of Vista. By middle school, Frank and his 3 brothers were being raised by a single mother. In the 1990s, in an effort to make ends meet, his mother worked the night shift at Tri City Hospital to earn extra funds. Unfortunately, with minimal supervision, Frank found himself on the other side of the tracks.

With a strong determination to change his circumstances, Frank worked tirelessly to become the first in his family to achieve a college degree. Putting himself through college, he worked full-time at Frazier Farms in Vista while commuting to Los Angeles to pursue his passion for Filmmaking.

Frank has been happily married to his high school sweetheart for 27 years. They take pride in their three children and are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first grandchild.
