Frank Siller has served as Chairman and CEO of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation since its inception.

Siller, an entrepreneur, owned several businesses, including a retail operation and home-building company. One of the great joys in his life was having his younger brother Stephen learn the trade and work with him. Although Stephen became a member of the FDNY in 1995, like many firefighters, he found himself juggling two jobs to support his young family, and there was no better place to work than by his older brother’s side.

While visiting Sgt Brendan Morocco, the first-ever surviving quadruple amputee, at Walter Reed Hospital, Siller tapped into his extensive home-building experience and offered to build Morocco a mortgage-free home. Siller was compelled to help Morocco reclaim his independence, founding the Tunnel to Towers Smart Home Program in the process.

For almost two decades, he has served our nation’s heroes, the veterans and first responders who risk their lives to protect us. To date, the Foundation has spent over $250 million to honor and support our first responders, veterans and their families.

Siller was named Honorary Battalion Chief by FDNY Commissioner Salvatore Cassano in 2010 and received the Department of the Army Commanders Award for Public Service in 2015. This is the fourth-highest honor the United States Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian. He received the NYPD’s Holy Name Society Presidents Award in 2015, and in 2019, was named the Police Benevolent Association’s Person of the Year and was awarded the Christopher Leadership Award for “the invaluable aid he brings to catastrophically injured veterans, first responders and Gold Star Families.”

In 2020, President Donald J. Trump honored Siller in a special Presidential Recognition Ceremony at the White House for the Foundation’s work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Siller and his wife Patricia are the proud parents of three children and grandparents of six grandchildren and live in Staten Island, NY.
