Biography

A man of many hats - literally and figuratively - Frank Meyer is an award-winning director, producer, author and musician.

As Video Director at fitness tech company Tonal from 2021 to present, Frank Meyer delved into a whole new world of content and creative. While he had been a Digital Producer on NBC's American Ninja Warrior , Meyer had little experience in directing professional athletes or AI-driven tech content. Yet within a year, he had become an expert in the field, a coach favorite, and was directing the company's massive Health program. The Tonal position involved directing both linear content and live shows (4 a day!), all while calling cameras and cuing talent via an in-ear IFB. It was challenge after challenge, and Meyer excelled every step of the way, earning much praise from his superiors and coworkers.

Meanwhile, Meyer has been serving as a Field Producer and on- camera talent for three seasons AXS's Daytime Award-nominated series Music's Greatest Mysteries.

From 2016 to 2020, Frank was Sr. Content Producer at Fender Musical Instruments, where he played a key role in creating the look, style, and production workflow of the award-winning Fender Play app. In addition to producing and directing much of the digital tutorial content, Frank led the marketing campaign for the 2018 California Acoustic and Signature Ukulele launches.

Previously, Frank was Sr. Interactive Content Producer at NBC's Esquire Network and G4tv, where he fine-tuned his skills directing and producing TV commercials (Dyson, Sonic), promotional spots (Jurassic World , State Farm, Little Caesars) and campaigns (Knife Fight), while racking up multiple Telly, Webby, and W3 awards along the way. He also morphed into an ace Digital Content Producer and Field Producer, covering red carpets and events around the world such as Tokyo Game Show, Comic-Con, CES, E3 and many, many others. Yet more awards were nabbed when he created G4tv's web series Freestyle 101 , as well as digital shoulder programming for TV shows like Attack of the Show , X-Play, Friday Night Tykes , Best Bars in America , and others.

Additionally, Frank is a published Author, writing On the Road with the Ramones (Omnibus), When the Wall of Sound Met The New York Underground (Rhino), and Van Halen: A Visual History 1978 - 1985 (Chronicle). His latest books, Diaper Dude and From Dude to Dad: The Diaper Dude Guide to Pregnancy, are via Penguin/Random House.

Along the way, Frank directed a documentary film about a Wu-Tang Clan rapper who suffered a near-fatal brain aneurysm and his road to recovery, the award-winning Risen: The Story of Chron "Hell Razah" Smith.
