Who We Are

The Network of Trust was founded by Frank Vasquez, an entrepreneur who earned his contractor's license and started his first company at the age of twenty. Being self-employed allowed him the freedom to set his own schedule, so he began spending much of his free time volunteering in programs that help people to better their lives. In 2005, after 13 years as a contractor, Frank earned his real estate license and began working in the lending field as well. Throughout his career, Frank has worked with many honest, trustworthy people, but also has encountered those who are less than ethical.

Deciding that it was time for a new era in advertising responsibility, he and two friends created the Network of Trust with the goal of helping deserving companies to thrive. Today The Network of Trust is proud to count among its members many local business that represent a wide-range of industries. It is committed to promoting companies that put their clients’ needs first, give back to the community, and are making a difference in the environment.
