About Author

My name is Frank Rolfe, and in 1982 I graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Economics.

Now, there’s not a whole lot you can do with that, so I was going to go on to business school and get an MBA. And in order to get into business school, I was going to start a business to write about my experience on my application. I decided to start a billboard business.

After the first year, I had three billboards, but I had a bunch more pending, so I decided to go one more year and try to get to an even ten. By the end of the second year I was already over ten and heading for twenty, so I delayed applying for business school for one more year. You can guess what happened. I never went to business school, and I just kept building billboards.

Not having any actual experience when I started, I had literally no idea what I was doing. But fortunately, I had some mentors along the way, particularly some guys at Foster and Kleiser (then the largest billboard company in the U.S.) who just couldn’t stand watching all the mistakes I was making. And I mostly learned through trial and error.

Back then, the competition in the industry was fierce, with over 60 billboard companies alone in Dallas (today there are less than ten). So I had to use my wits and creativity to beat the competition. Little did I know that those tricks and shortcuts would lead me to jump ahead of everyone. 14 years later, I was the largest private owner of billboards in Dallas/Ft. Worth, and sold out to Universal (now Clear Channel) for $5.8 million.
