Frank Blas Jr

I started my career as a police officer graduating as valedictorian in both the 1st Para-Police Cycle and 23rd Police Cycle of the Guam Police Department. After 13 decorated years, I joined my father in launching an insurance brokerage and business consulting firm known as Frank Blas & Associates, Inc. 

In 2002, I was tapped to be Guam’s first Homeland Security Advisor and established the Guam Office of Homeland Security and helped to create the United States Department of Homeland Security. 

In 2006, I was elected into the 29th Guam Legislature and served as the Chairman of the Committee on Health, Human Services & Homeland Security. I subsequently served in three other Legislatures (30th, 31st, and 33rd) before leaving and assuming the role of President in the business started by my father and I years earlier.

In 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and concerned with how families and businesses were suffering, I again sought a senatorial seat and was elected to serve in the 36th Guam Legislature. Over the course of this term, I sought ways to assist families and businesses in recovering from the devastating financial effects of the pandemic. I also wrote legislation that increases the penalties on sexual assault and abuse crimes.

I served as President and CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Guam. I created and serve as President of the Guam War Survivors Memorial Foundation. I am a board member with the Ayuda Foundation of Guam, and in the early days of the pandemic, worked collaboratively with the Guam Daily Post and other community entities to help displaced workers and needy families in a movement called “Feed the Need.”

I am a licensed insurance broker, a business consultant, a personal development trainer, and a certified life coach. I was an adjunct professor in Criminal Justice at the Guam Community College and a contributing columnist with the Guam Daily Post and wrote numerous articles for “Across the Aisle” and “Building Your Legacy.”

Along with being a contributing columnist, I directed, wrote, and published three books honoring Guam’s World War II survivors (“Real People-Real Faces,” “Familes in the Face of Survival,” and “Legacy Beyond Faces”).  I wrote and published a short personal development book entitled “Fulfilling Your Dreams” and finishing up a second book of its kind.

My soulmate, life partner, and spouse is the former Tillie Carmen Reyes and we have four daughters, thirteen grand children, and two great grand children.
