Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), and seven stints in juvenile detention, he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. With $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life’s highest calling.
Today, Frank’s life is a testament to the power of aspiration to create a completely new reality. As a real estate artist he has created and sold 44 oceanfront mansions on spec with an average price of $14 million. Frank recently announced he was un-retiring and coming back to create more real estate artistry! See two short films that were just made about Frank’s exciting comeback!
As a philanthro-capitalist, Frank has built 31 self-sustaining villages over the last 21 years in Haiti, providing 14,000+ children and their families with homes, schools, clinics, community centers, churches, renewable food and clean water, and means to support themselves.
A best-selling author, actor, and keynote speaker, Frank has written 9 books in 7 genres. His newest book; Aspirational Thoughts • Inspirational Images: An Art Gallery and Teacher • A Photography Exhibit and Mentor was just released! Frank has starred in four movies, and keynoted before audiences of ten to ten thousand around the world.
Physically, Frank has pushed the limit of his body by racing in the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon 12x in the scorching summer in Death Valley, California, a race referred to by National Geographic as “the world’s toughest footrace.”

As with all of his books, Frank wrote his latest bestseller Aspire! in his Delray Beach, Florida, oceanfront treehouse office that has spectacular views and includes a bamboo desk, shower, bathroom, sink, air-conditioning, hardwood floors, cedar walls, a loft with a king size bed, and a suspension bridge to the master bedroom in the main house—that’s Frank’s commute to and from work!
Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of 34 years, split their time between Delray Beach and their “glass cottage” in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina. They enjoy visiting their 24 year-old daughter, Laura, in New York City, where she started and runs StrataBrand, a brand strategy firm.
