Meet Your FRAP Chapter Leader

Elijah Langhorne is a U.S. Air Force veteran, entrepreneur, and FRAP Chapter Leader who helps service-based business owners diagnose what’s broken, stabilize under pressure, and grow profit with clarity and execution.

He built and scaled Langhorne Electrical & Contracting, a multi-trade firm serving Louisiana and Southeast Texas, growing it's revenue by 275% in under 10 months by applying the same FRAP framework used inside FRAP Chapters nationwide. By tightening execution, correcting pricing, and installing repeatable systems, Elijah structured the business to operate without requiring his constant presence—giving him firsthand experience with delegation, capacity constraints, and leadership under real operational load.

Before business ownership, Elijah served seven years in the U.S. Air Force with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan—experience that shaped his leadership under stress and reinforced a bias toward action over theory. He holds an MBA, a degree in Organizational Leadership, and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) in Strategy & Innovation, bringing both formal training and lived operator experience into his work.

Through ForgePoint Consulting and the ForgePoint Leadership Lab podcast, Elijah works with owners who are already doing the work but feel stuck, tired, or overwhelmed. His work and leadership were recognized through the 2026 Hiring Our Heroes Small Business Award, powered by the FedEx Founder’s Fund and presented by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, honoring veteran entrepreneurs creating meaningful impact through business and community leadership.

He approaches businesses like a physician approaches a patient—diagnosing stress points and bottlenecks first, then applying FRAP as a practical prescription to restore clarity, margin, and control. Rather than offering motivation without structure, Elijah focuses on helping owners build systems that create leverage, accountability, and sustainable growth.

Elijah lives in Houston with his wife and dog, trains regularly, builds with his hands, and is currently writing Sawdust & Scars: The Messy Work of Becoming Whole, a book on leadership, identity, and the true cost of growth.

Real Results. Real Profit.
