Some people can see what is not there yet. Not as fantasy, but as inevitability. Frank Foti is that kind of visionary. And he is, at his core, a man of immense heart.

He built Vigor Industrial from a struggling Portland shipyard into a thriving maritime enterprise, guided throughout by four words he has carried his entire life: truth, responsibility, evolution, and love. TREL is not a framework. It is a faith.

It came with him when he and his wife, Brenda Smola-Foti, grew her quietly cultivated vision into The Ground, a philosophy of belonging expressed through regenerative agriculture, nourishing food, luxury lodging, wellness, and transformative programs in the heart of Yamhill County.

Frank's gift is dual. He can hold the arc of a long vision while making sure it has legs, turning dreams into land you can walk on, meals you can taste, and experiences that change you..
