Mark Franke has been involved with the IPFW men's volleyball team since the team's formation in 1981. Since 1989, Franke has been a volunteer assistant coach and has been part of all six of IPFW's NCAA Final Four appearances. Franke is an integral part of IPFW's winning strategy because of his unique ability to record and analyze an opponent's tendencies throughout the course of a match, and then predicting the next play they will run.
A 1973 graduate of IPFW with a major in economics, Franke retired from IPFW after a 35 year career. He most recently served the university as associate vice chancellor for enrollment management. Franke has also earned two master's degrees in business at IPFW.
Franke met and married his wife Tommy while they were undergraduates at IPFW. Mrs. Franke holds bachelor's and master's degrees in education from IPFW and is now a principal as well as a middle school teacher at Ascension Lutheran School. They have two married children and two grandchildren.
