Frank Thomas

Founder & Chairman

Baseball Hall of Famer and two-time AL MVP, Frank Thomas redefined what it means to be a power hitter — and what it means to build a brand. Over a 19-year MLB career, Frank became one of the most feared and respected players in the history of the game.

After retiring from baseball, Frank channeled that same competitive drive into entrepreneurship. Over the past 30+ years, he has built brands across television, music, media, consumer products, and technology — each venture driven by his belief that greatness requires bold vision and relentless execution.

Big Eye Network is Frank's most ambitious endeavor yet: an enterprise AI streaming platform designed to give athletes, artists, and creators the tools, reach, and revenue they deserve. Built from the ground up with industry veterans, Big Eye is Frank's legacy play — a platform for the next generation.
