As a flight commander, Hasard led pilots into combat during one of the most intense periods during the War in Afghanistan. There, he flew over eighty combat missions and became the only fighter pilot to ever fly two different types of jets into combat on the same day while supporting troops under fire.
Hasard was then hand-picked to fly the F-35, the most advanced and expensive weapons system in history, which was still in development at the time. During his last role on active duty, Hasard became the Chief of Training Systems for the largest training base in the world, leading the development of new technology and teaching methods to train future fighter pilots.
Hasard is acclaimed for making the wisdom he’s learned as a fighter pilot accessible to all. His keynote presentations have been called “a gripping display of visual storytelling” where audiences need to “strap in and hold on to as he lights the afterburner on leadership and risk management under extreme pressure.”
