With over 30 years of professional management experience, Brian Frenzel served as president and chief executive officer at Adeza Biomedical and Centaur Pharmaceuticals. In addition to receiving his bachelor of science degree in physics and chemistry from Stanford University, Brian Frenzel also holds an MBA in finance and marketing from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Currently the CEO of Tosk, Inc. in Mountain View, California, Brian Frenzel is an avid Stanford football fan. Mr. Frenzel has held season tickets to Stanford football games since his first year at Stanford. During that timeframe, he has missed only a handful of home games, and he has attended away games at such diverse locations as Japan, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arizona. He has never missed a Stanford Rose Bowl game and can recount with pleasure the heroics of Jim Plunkett and Don Bunce in the 1971 and 1972 Rose Bowl games, as well as those of Christian McCaffrey in the 2016 Rose Bowl. Mr. Frenzel has never missed a home Big Game with the University of California and has traveled to Berkeley for many away games. He attended the 1982 Big Game in Berkley and had an excellent view from the stands of the three missed officials’ calls (knee down, forward lateral, Cal fans on the field) that resulted in the ignominious “The Play.” Frenzel’s view was later validated by the television crew of the 25th anniversary of The Play, who declared that “The Play would have been reversed upon replay, had replay existed.” He was also present in Berkeley for the redemption in 1990 afforded by “The Play II,” also known as “12 Seconds Over Berkeley.” Down 18-25 with 12 seconds on the clock, Stanford scored 9 points on 6 plays in the final 12 seconds to win the game 27-25. There were no disputed officials calls in this finish, and The Play II stands as a record for most points scored to win a football game with 15 seconds or less to go.
