Vice President & IT Manager
FRANK MAMOLA
Beginning at just age 17 as a member of Jacques Catering’s delivery staff, it’s fair to say that Frank has worked his way from just about every department within the company to become vice president and IT manager today. As a result, Frank brings over 25 years of special event and food/beverage experience.
​
Originally hailing from Staten Island, Frank moved to Middletown, NJ as a teen. He graduated from Seton Hall with a bachelor’s in economics, which he used (and still does!) to expand and improve on our company’s goal: “elegance and class on every budget.”
​
As a citizen of NJ, Frank has been actively volunteering since 2011 with numerous charities focused around providing children with the necessary school supplies to both attend and contribute to the fine arts, among several other charities about which he is very passionate. Next time you see him, ask what he’s been up to lately!
