Excel under pressure. Learn the value of decisive leadership and how to become the teammate your customers, clients, and colleagues covet. Kevin will show you how to encourage and motivate your team while teaching them how to excel under pressure and achieve exceptional results.

Kevin and his Aircrew are going to be featured in the 7th episode of the 2020 season on the National Geographic TV channel's show 'Air Disasters, Hero Pilots'. The show typically will explain the how and why a major commercial airline crashed, but every once in a while they have/want a show which shows an aircrew in grave trouble but they are able to save the airplane and successfully land.

General Charles Horner, the top commander of all Allied Air Forces during the Gulf War
