Who is Andrew Frankel?

Andrew Frankel was born on 20 August 1974, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA, and is a businessman as well as a stockbroker, but probably better known for being the husband of actress Bridget Moynahan. His wife came to fame for her work in the television series “Blue Bloods”, though she has also appeared in various high profile films during her career.

The Riches of Andrew Frankel

His successful wife has a net worth estimated to be over $25 million.

Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings

At a young age, Andrew became very aware of the world of business and the stock market, mostly thanks to his father who spent most of his time as a stockbroker. His father founded Stuart Frankel & Co, a company that his son would also later become involved with. His father had success through numerous investments, and wanted Andrew to follow a similar path.

He attended the University of Pennsylvania where he studied for a degree in Economics.

The university is one of the oldest in the US, being one of the original nine colonial colleges founded even before the US Declaration of Independence. It has numerous high profile alumni, including US President, Donald Trump. During this time, he wanted to explore more about his other interests instead of heading straight to his father’s business, and became interested in animation, partnering with his cousin for the film adaptation of “Alien Space Avenger”.

Path Towards Stocks

Frankel was very interested in the entertainment industry, especially behind the scenes in graphic design and animation.

Andrew Frankel and Bridget Moynahan

Following his graduation, he first worked for the advertising agency Demain Vickers as an assistant, then after a short stint there, he moved to UTV13 News Digest where he began working as a writer, editor, camera operator, and newscaster. While he enjoyed the work, he wanted to do something that lined up more with his previous collaboration with his cousin.

He eventually got a job with Hasbro Toy Group, and stayed there briefly before making his way deeper into the entertainment industry as a member of the animating team of several popular films. He worked on projects such as “Jurassic Park”, “Transformers’, and “GI Joe”, also  venturing into acting, appearing in “Godzilla”.

However, he later realized that he wasn’t on track to make it big, so he returned to his father, becoming a part of the company’s research team, and corporate relations. He flourished within Stuart Frankel thanks to the direction of his father, and also became a capable investor.

Wife – Bridget Moynahan

Bridget grew up in New York – her parents are of Irish American descent. Her father worked as a scientist while her mother was a school teacher, though she had already retired. Bridget grew up alongside two brothers, and their family later settled in Longmeadow, Massachusetts where she would attend high school.

At school she showed a lot of interest in athletics, and became the captain of Longmeadow High School’s lacrosse and soccer teams.

After matriculating from high school, she became interested in modeling, despite having been labeled a tomboy in school. She joined her friend in one audition and was successful, becoming a part of several advertisements within catalogs in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the time, she was already continuing her education at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst, but left to take advantage of opportunities to work in the New York fashion industry.

She started gaining features in popular magazines such as “Glamour”, “Elle”, and “Vogue”, however, she knew that this wasn’t going to be a job that would last forever, so she started developing her skills in acting. Some of her earliest work was in shampoo and soap commercials, then made her television show debut in a recurring role in “Sex and the City”.

The Success of Bridget Moynahan

Moynahan eventually became known for her work in the television series “Blue Bloods”, in which she plays the role of Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan. She has been with the show since the start, and it’s been running for 10 seasons with no sign of stopping any time soon.

It follows the story of a family living in New York City, with most of its members involved in law enforcement. Before her work in the show, she was the star of the series “Six Degrees”, but which was short-lived due to low ratings

While “Blue Bloods” has been her main focus on television, she’s done a lot of film work over the years. One of her latest projects is the “John Wick” franchise which began in 2014 starring Keanu Reeves. It follows the story of the titular character, a retired assassin who is forced back to work and his life of killing – the film franchise has been called some of Reeves’ best work. Other projects she’s been a part of include “The Sum of All Fears”, “I, Robot”, and “The Journey Home”.

Personal Life

Before his marriage to the actress, Andrew had a long term relationship which produced three children. He has not shared a lot of details of this relationship publically, except that the children get along well with their stepmother. Bridget also has a significant romantic history, being in relationships with names such as Scott Rosenberg, Tom Brady, and McG. She has a son from her relationship with Tom Brady.

The two met sometime in the early-2010s and married in 2015 in a wedding ceremony held in The Hamptons. Andrew is very conscious when it comes to fitness and keeping his body in good shape. He goes to the gym regularly and also controls his eating habits.

Mining gold is not always the quest of a lone wolf on a mission – in some cases it is a legacy and a family business. Dave Turin is a civil engineer and businessman who comes from a family of successful gold miners, and it wasn’t always clear that Dave would pursue this career as he was a football star during his college days. Dave first rose to fame when he was regularly consulted by the Hoffman family crew during the first season of “Gold Rush”, a Discovery Channel show following the ups and downs of gold mining.

Early Life and Family

Dave Turin was born on 21 April 1959, in Sandy, Oregon USA to Jim Turin – the name of his mother is unknown. Dave is one of six children – three brothers and two sisters – who are mostly involved in the family business. Dave loved the outdoors as a child, and developed hunting and fishing skills. During high school, Dave was not only a good pupil but a star athlete on the football field. This is not necessarily surprising, as his father, Jim was a local teacher and sports coach. Dave continued his football career during college, and even played on the Oregon State team for a time before realizing that his dreams lay elsewhere.

Education

While Dave is considered the most knowledgeable miner on the Hoffman crew, he learned most of his skills at the family quarry. Dave Turin attended Sandy Union High School, and riding on the success of his high school career including playing football, he studied attended both Ohio State University then Portland State University, from where he graduated with a degree in civil engineering.

Career

Family Business

Dave Turin joined his family quarry business immediately after graduating from college. The business had been established in 1969, when the family assisted a local in acquiring stone to pave a driveway.

Dave Turin

Originally call Jim Turin & Sons, the company was renamed Mt. Hood Rock Products in 1988, and Dave has been the vice president and co-owner of the company since its inception. Although he mainly focuses on his own work, he remains affiliated with the company and his brothers who run the business.

Discovery Channel

 “Gold Rush”

Discovery Channel got wind of the gold fever in 2010, and began filming a series that would follow fledgling mining crews as they ventured out into the world of gold mining. The show premiered on 3 December 2010, and has since evolved into following the activities of experienced crews and their risk-taking exploits.

In the first season, the show focused predominantly on Todd Hoffman and his motley crew. Hoffman knew that he was lacking in experience, and so consulted his friend Dave Turin, who appeared as a consultant regularly throughout the first season, and when Todd offered him a permanent position on the team, he jumped at the opportunity.

Dave Turin aced as the source of wisdom and experience on the crew, playing an integral role in the success of the Dakota Boys, and earned the moniker ‘Dozer Dave’ for his prowess with the bulldozer. After a disastrous mining operation in Guyana prior to the fourth season, Dave switched alliances and began to work with Freddy and Derek Dodge.

Dave eventually negotiated a 50% stake in the business were he to return to the Hoffman team, and for a time all was peaceful.

Did Dave Turin Quit?

During season seven, Dave left the crew for a brief period after another fruitless operation, and returned at the end of the season to work on another operation. The season ended in violence when Dave got into a fistfight with Trey Paulson. Dave explained that being family orientated, the tension in the crew can run high as the season progresses, as they begin to miss home life and their families. Then, the unthinkable happened – Dave Turin handed in his resignation. He Quit.

However, this was not the end of Dave Turin, as he still had big dreams for gold mining, and returned in a show of his own. “Gold Rush: Dave Turin’s Lost Mine” The show documents Dave’s traveling and transformative power, visiting dilapidated mines around the country and assessing the potential of each. He then decides which mines are worth his resources and energy, and resurrects them. He also returned to the main show.

Personal Life

Dave Turin is the type of person who pursues his dreams. This was certainly true when he married Shelly, the girl he had fallen for in high school.

Shelly trained as a nurse, but is currently unemployed, citing spousal support as her source of income. The two have three children, one of whom is Tony Turin, and all are married, and so are now grandparents. Dave is close to his children and grandchildren, and often posts pictures of himself spending quality time with them – whether it be at Disneyland or on fishing trips.

Appearance

Dave Turin is of average stature, but he has an explosive personality. Dave has dark hair which he wears short, but he also sports a beard which is beginning to grey.

Dave has brown eyes and has aged incredibly well. Dave is considerably shorter than average at 4ft 7ins (1.47m) and weighs 115 lbs (52kgs).

Net Worth and Salary

Gold mining can be a lucrative business, and this paired with the hefty salary that Discovery channel stars receive implies that Dave is able to live in relative comfort. This does not mean that he does not have to work hard for is money. Gold mining can be unpredictable, and sinking your cash into the wrong operation could mean the collapse of your finances. Dave Turin is not afraid to take risks but is still very discerning in his ventures, so has a net worth estimated at over $2 million as of mid-2020.
