A native of Grant, Nebraska, Anderson graduated from Emporia State University in Kansas in 1983 and received his master’s degree from the school in 1985. Prior to attending ESU, Anderson was a junior college All-American at Mid-Plains College in North Platte, Nebraska, and then an All-District and All-Area outfielder at University of Nebraska at Kearney.

Anderson has coached at Texas. From 1990 to 1999, he served as the pitching coach at Texas Tech.
Frank and his wife Sandra have two children: an 19-year old son, Brett, who is a pitcher in the Oakland Athletics organization, and a nine-year old daughter, Katelyn.
