Leadership & Training Team
Frank McGaha
Frank McGaha is a federal law enforcement veteran and training professional with deep operational experience across military, tactical, and remote enforcement environments. A former U.S. Navy helicopter crew chief and gunner, Frank spent six years conducting high-risk aviation operations and deploying three times to the Middle East - an experience that shaped his disciplined approach to training and leadership.
Frank transitioned into federal law enforcement as a remote and backcountry officer with the National Park Service, where he led enforcement operations and served as the primary responder for complex search and rescue missions. His time operating in isolated, high-pressure environments helped form the training principles he teaches today: preparation, integrity, and performance under stress.
