About Jason
Why did you become an EMT?
I developed a passion for emergency medicine at a young age, and earned my license almost ten years ago, and have kept it up-to-date since!
Why did you start Local Lifesaver CPR?
I started Local Lifesaver CPR because I believe CPR education should be practical, engaging, and accessible; not a luxuery or challenge.
What makes your classes different?
My goal is passion-driven. So many companies want to help you earn a certification - but I also want to help you leave feeling confident enough to act in a real emergency. One of the most common reasons people do not perform CPR in a time of need, even when they know how, is because they are afraid of makng a mistake. My drive is to empower you, to lower that number.
