About Frank DeLuca
From 6 Figures in Debt to Helping Inventors Launch 6-Figure Products
👋 Hey, I’m Frank — Engineer, Product Inventor, and Your Blueprint to Escape the 9-5
Years ago, I was buried in over $100,000 of bad debt, stuck in a high paying 9-5 job as an application engineer, while juggling two car payments, a family, and a mortgage. On the outside, I looked like a “successful engineer.” On the inside, I knew I was built for more.
I wasn’t living the life I knew I was capable of.
So, I made a decision:
I would stop chasing someone else’s dream and start building my own.
I launched my first product — and failed.
But I didn’t stop there. I invested tens of thousands of dollars into mentorship, systems, and trial-and-error... and through that journey, I created a blueprint that now helps everyday people like you bring their product ideas to life and escape the 9-5 grind.
Today, I’m the founder of DeLuca Designs Business Academy (DDBA) and DDSports. I am also the Chief Engineer and Co-Owner of So-Gnar Sounds and Cooper Groove. I’ve helped hundreds of inventors bring their ideas to market — including products that have been featured by original Sharks from Shark Tank and sold across Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, and retail.
What Makes Me Different?
Unlike most online “gurus” who’ve never launched a real product…
I’ve launched multiple 6-figure products of my own — from the StoolPak (a cooler, seat & backpack combo) to Wedge Master (a kid-focused golf training game) and more.
I’ve built a step-by-step launch system that removes the guesswork and walks you from idea → prototype → supplier → Amazon → profitable sales in as little as 90 days.
I guarantee results. If your product doesn’t launch within the window agreed upon with my team, I’ll continue working with you 1-on-1 until it does — at no extra cost.
I actually care. My team and I are here to guide you, support you, and walk you through every stage until you WIN.
I hold a Mechanical Engineering degree from Purdue University — one of the top engineering schools in the country.
I’ve contributed to groundbreaking 3D printing innovations and even led projects tied to the lunar landing mission.
I’ve been a kids sports coach, helping youth grow through discipline and teamwork. And before all that — I earned a football scholarship to play in college before suffering a career-ending knee injury.
Every setback I’ve faced has shaped the leader I’ve become — and given me the exact mindset I now teach my students.
What I Believe
You don’t need a business degree or years of experience to succeed.
You do need the right mindset, blueprint, and mentor who’s been through it.
Anyone with a real idea and the drive to win can escape the 9-5 and build their dream lifestyle.
I built the Inventor’s Transformation Academy (ITA) and my flagship program DDBA because I know what it’s like to feel stuck, have limited time, and no roadmap. This system has been used by hundreds of people — moms, dads, engineers, first-time inventors, and many more — to take an idea and turn it into a business.

Why I Do This
I’m not doing this to be famous. I’m doing this because my family deserves a life of freedom, and I want to show my kids what’s possible when you bet on yourself.
That same possibility exists for you.
You’ve got a product idea.
Or maybe you just know you're meant for more.
Either way… you’ve landed in the right place.
