With a desire to learn more about the Internet and how it could be used as information and recruitment tools by Lions and Lions Clubs Lion Frank set about designing a web page for the Carrollton Evening Lions Club. When the link for the Club page was added to LionNet International he was asked to design and host the LionNet TEXAS site. He took on this task as well as designing a web page for District 2-X1. In the Spring of 1997 he approached DG/E Dale Massey with the idea of forming the first Internet Committee for the District in order make official the District's presence on the net. With the support of Lion Dale and of DG Bob Lange, the then current Governor, it became a reality. Lion Dale proceeded to impress upon the incoming Council of Governors the importance of the Internet and the impact it would have on Lions world wide. This resulted in Lion Frank becoming MD-2s first State Internet Chairman. During his third year in this role Lion Frank joined the ranks of LionNet Administrators for LionNet International.  Currently Lion Frank is serving as Vice District Governor of District 2-X1.

Even as a child, long before he became a Lion, Lion Frank attended numerous Lions functions and activities with his father, Lion Frank Pickens, who has been a Lion for over 50 years.

As an active Lion he has held a number of positions during his service to Lionism.
