“I became an instructor because as a former combat infantryman in the US Army and Federal Police Officer I first hand realized the importance of identifying and stopping life threatening bleeding from traumatic events and accidents. I wanted to share my real-world knowledge and experience to people who may have otherwise never been subjected to these topic.”

“I have been a Police employee for 11 years and for 9 years I have worked in the field of Special Units. I completed several First Aid trainings and I understand the need for a quick response in case of emergency, even more so in my work environment. Where I live there are still many myths about performing maneuvers such as CPR and even more so regarding the use of Tourniquets, which is why I joined the STOP THE BLEED® program, it is another tool to help save lives and I am proud to be able to help others.”

I have been a nurse for 30 years and have seen unintentional trauma result in fatalities due to my rural location. As a current Texas School Nurse, I want everyone to have access to and take a STOP THE BLEED® course so we can all be prepared to save a life with bleeding control.  Unfortunately with the rise in public school shootings, STOP THE BLEED® programs and STOP THE BLEED® kits are in all of our schools.  I would love to see all citizens want to learn how to STOP THE BLEED® so that distance will not hinder emergency response, especially rurally, so that we will see more survivors from injuries.  As a Nurse, I know that uncontrolled bleeding is the #1 cause of preventable death from trauma, and I want everyone I come in contact with to be aware of this as well.  Accidents happen anywhere, not just at school. The greater number of people who know how to stop the bleed in an injured person the greater the chance of survival will occur.  In closing, all should be equipped in Texas and nationwide with STOP THE BLEED® knowledge and therefore decrease the loss of life due to traumatic bleeding.

Training is at the heart of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign and STOP THE BLEED® Instructors are the ones that make the heart beat!  The Instructor Spotlight shines a bright light on individuals engaging their communities about STOP THE BLEED®.

For me, this is an opportunity to teach even more and show people that saving people and a person’s life is not so difficult and scary! I teach and share my experience, teach children, and our younger generation the skills to stop bleeding. I also train teachers and impart knowledge so that people share information.
