Why I Started This.
I didn't start Critical Compressions because I needed a business idea. I started it because sixteen years as an EMS provider gave me an undeniable truth: most cardiac arrests don't happen in hospitals. Nearly 90% happen at home, at work, at school, at the gym — in the places where the people you love spend their time.
In those moments, EMS is minutes away. The person standing right there is all that stands between life and what comes next. The difference between those two outcomes isn't equipment — it's training. Real training. Not a video on YouTube, not a certificate you downloaded from a website — actual hands-on practice from someone who has been on the other side of that call.
You are far more likely to perform CPR on someone you love than on a stranger. When seconds matter, I take great pride in knowing I've taught you how to save the people who are most important to you.
Charlotte is a city of over 900,000 people and one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country. That means thousands of daycares, gyms, construction sites, corporate offices, and schools where emergencies can — and do — happen. I built Critical Compressions specifically for those places. The organizations that aren't hospitals. The teams that don't have an in-house medical director telling them what to do.
Every class I teach, I show up with one goal: make sure every person in that room walks out more ready than when they walked in. Same-day certification card? That's the easy part. The real product is confidence — and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're prepared.
I'm based in Charlotte, and I come to you. If your team needs to be certified — whether that's 5 daycare workers or 50 corporate employees — I'll build the training around your schedule, your space, and your people.
