Sustained high performance under pressure isn’t accidental. It is engineered. 

Landing on the pitching deck of an aircraft carrier at night. Total darkness, 165 mph and a  runway the size of a football field.  

Flying inches from another jet at 600 mph in front of millions. 

Executing extreme low-level canyon runs for one of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters. 

In these high-stakes environments, there is no room for hesitation, ego, or excuses. The lessons  forged there don’t stay in the cockpit, they transform how we lead, perform, and build teams in  business and in life. 

Frank takes audiences behind the scenes of elite naval aviation, from serving with the world renowned U.S. Navy Blue Angels to leading junior wingmen into combat and flying the extreme  low-altitude maneuvers for Top Gun: Maverick. Through riveting stories and powerful insights,  he reveals how operating where the margin for error is zero reshapes leadership, teamwork, trust,  and accountability. 

This is not theory; it’s performance when it matters most. This keynote is fast, it’s intense, it’s  inspirational and deeply practical. More than anything else, it challenges teams to raise their  standard immediately. 

Strap in.
