Iowa’s Heartland Values Shaped SureFire CPR’s Impact

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 life-saving education more accessible than ever, available 24/7 nationwide.
