SureFire CPR’s Illinois Chapter — A Story of Passion and Purpose

I spent 15 years as a firefighter and paramedic...

And too often, I would arrive on the scene of someone unconscious, surrounded by a circle of people feeling helpless. Sometimes, those people would even have CPR training but lacked the confidence and experience to act.

That's why I started SureFire CPR with my wife, Vanessa, in 2009 to change that.

SureFire CPR provides hands-on CPR classes that go beyond the textbook. Our courses are practical, engaging, and focused on giving you the skills to act with confidence in any emergency.

To date, we've trained over 280,000 people and are on a mission to prepare 1,000,000 individuals to step up in emergencies. With American Heart Association-backed interactive manikins, we're making lifesaving education more accessible than ever, available 24/7 nationwide.
