Frank Abagnale’s sons, Scott, Chris, and Sean, are doing best with their careers. They never judged their father on his past convictions, instead, they respected him on the basis of how he treated his family.

From his marriage of nearly 5 decades with his wife Kelly Anne Welbes Abagnale, Frank is now a proud father of 3 sons and a grandfather of 7. All of his sons: Scott, Chris, and Sean, are now settled with their own career and family.

Eldest Son, Scott Abagnale, Is An FBI Agent Like His Father

For Frank Abagnale, it was more than a proud moment as his son, Scott, became a Special FBI agent. He joins his father who’s been working with the FBI for more than 4 decades, leaving past the history of fraud conviction after parole.

Currently, Scott William Abagnale (born on January 1, 1979) is the Unit Chief of the FBI’s Crisis Negotiations Unit. As reported, he was in one of the classes at the FBI Academy where his dad lectures.

In February 2020, the young Abagnale sat alongside his father, Frank, during a segment “Virtual Kidnappings” of the podcast The Perfect Scam. In the podcast, Scott stated that he was in the FBI for ‘a little over 14 years’- suggesting, he joined the government agency around 2006.

Moreover, he stated that he worked as an attorney earlier. But he made a quick switch as soon as he got the chance to work with the FBI.

Sean Abagnale Is The Youngest Son Of Frank: What Does He Do?

Born in 1983, Sean, 41, is a video game producer. A 2006 graduate of the University of Kansas, the youngest Abagnale currently lives in Richardson, Texas, where he is a senior producer at id Software (2018- now).

Earlier than that, he worked in San Francisco-based Glu Mobile as a senior producer and product owner from 2016 to 2018, having transferred from its Beijing, China-based company (2012- 16). Other work experience of Sean include:

• Teach For China (2009- 2011): As a US recruiter and in-field support manager

How Frank’s Sons View His Past?

In a 2017 interview, Abagnale Jr. opened up about how he told his sons about his past convictions and his journey from a con man to a G-man. Frank said that he made all his sons read his book, ‘Catch Me If You Can’, starting with his eldest son, Scott, who was 10 at that time.

He made sure that all three of them understood what their father did in his youth. The trio never inferred their father on the basis of his past but rather judged him on how he treated their mother and them.

Hence, neither Frank nor his sons let the past affect their lives in the present day.
