FRANK fRITZ
History Channel's American Pickers
Frank started picking early, collecting rocks and beer cans as a kid. He worked for many years as a fire and safety inspector but always has a passion for antiques, junk and anything with an engine. These days, he spends most of his time on the road with Mike, digging for treasure in barns, garage and junkyards across America.
Even-tempered and affable, he has a way with potential sellers and a knack for putting out fires: Mike calls him the bearded charmer. Frank does get a little carried away, however, by anything with an engine, and Mike often has to talk him out of buying yet another motorbike for his collection.

jeremy johnson
While singer songwriter Jeremy Johnson spend four years in Alaska managing a small business, he was able to develop his songwriting skills away from the influence of the rat race. After picking up his first guitar it was clear that life's traditional avenues could not satisfy his creativity and there he found his first true outlet for the labor of life. He started performing in local venues and broadening his musical talents. But the 49th state couldn't satisfy all of his ambitions, so he, along with his family, moved to Indiana, where he met the other four members and formed the band bleedingkeys. As a recently established band, bleedingkeys are building momentum fast-already garnering some amazing opportunities and a respectable fan base in a short amount of time. The majority of the band's shows have been benefits/fundraisers. In keeping with their name, this band truly has a heart for helping others in any way possible.
