Frank DuPree


Although born in North Dakota I have lived in Billings since age seven, going through the school system to graduate from Billings Senior High. I went on to graduate from the University of Montana. Once out of college I entered the work world in retail sales then a stint in the oil patch as a petroleum land man. When the oil markets went into a long decline I entered the financial services industry in the mid-1980's selling life and health insurance. In 2001 I went to work at Darnielle Insurance focusing on the sale of auto insurance and specialty products such as motorcycle, boat, RV and mobilehome policies. I have been blessed with a marriage of over thirty five years and live with my wife, two Labrador retrievers and a cat that at times is quite fond of me. My spare time is often spent in my garage working on my Packard automobile and my MGB.
