Employee Spotlight: Meet Frank

As a young adult, Frank Codispoti spent time exploring several different career pathways. Those diverse experiences led him to work in a variety of roles at several small businesses.

“I’ve worked in operations, human resources, dispatching - really anything related to the functions of a small business,” said Codispoti. “Throughout all those stops, I always enjoyed the accounting field the most. I like structure and rules, and accounting really suits my interests.”

The Canton, Ohio native is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Kent State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He joined the Liberty HealthShare community as a member of the finance team in 2023.

“We have a great team in the finance department,” said Codispoti. “Everyone knows their job well and we support each other. We take seriously our role to ensure that our financial resources are managed appropriately so we can have the maximum impact on the member experience.”

Codispoti attributes his strong work ethic to the teachings of his late father, Louis, who worked for 42 years at the Ford Motor Company.

“He went to work every day and put in a full day’s work,” said Codispoti. “He was a strong union guy and was old school in his approach to work.”

His mother, Barbara, he credits with teaching him how to savor every moment of life. At 85 years old she is still active in a weekly bowling league.

“Her love of life is something I have come to appreciate,” said Codispoti. “She was a youth bowling coach when she was younger, she loves square dancing, and she’s been active in local politics. I still bowl with her on Monday nights and that is a wonderful experience.”

Codispoti is an accomplished bowler himself. At the age of 10, he was ranked 7th in the country, and first in Ohio, with a high game of 277. His highest game ever was 289. In high school, Codispoti played football and baseball for the Canton McKinley High School Bulldogs.

Today, Codispoti lives in Canton Township with his dog, Hefner, a rescue from the Stark County Humane Society. He attends the Trinity United Church of Christ in Canton.

“I have a beautiful view from my back porch, and I enjoy my early morning time of reflection with my coffee,” said Codispoti. “I see God’s hand at work in leading me to work at Liberty HealthShare. I’m grateful for this opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.”
