My "Why"
Back in 2010, when I made the transition from working in a 911 system to working as a Flight Paramedic I struggled making the transition, nearly losing my job, because I was completely overwhelmed with my new role as a critical care provider, and the challenges of learning everything I was expected to learn.
I also struggled to discover where I fit in as member of an already established team of highly skilled professionals. I was an outsider, and I felt like I had to prove myself worthy of the privilege of working with such a team.
This was a horrible feeling and so when I finally made it through my orientation, and probationary period, I promised that I would do whatever I could to help other paramedics trying to advance their careers avoid the same struggles I had.
And so was born FlightCRIT, my website for providing industry leading Prehospital Emergency and Critical Care Transport Education for Paramedics.

My Vision for the Podcast
The FlightCrit Podcast is the next evolution of this vision, another way for me to serve our community by providing information in a way that's easily accessible and highly impactful.
How is FlightCRIT and the FlightCrit Podcast different?
First off, let me say that I'm one of you.
I'm not an administrator or clinical educator who spends each day sitting in an office coming up with new lessons that I think will be helpful to field staff.
I’m out in the field caring for patients, solving problems, and learning everyday.
The lessons I teach, and the information I share, come from my experience as a clinician in the field, and backed up by evidence based research when necessary. I’m also passionate about learning from other professionals in our industry, and using their experience to improve the care I bring to my patients.
