My specialty and focus is patient-oriented vehicle and machinery rescue training.  Each class includes a strong patient care focus, as well as each program is continually reviewed and updated to meet the changing and challenging arena of vehicle and machinery extrication.  Special attention is paid to NFPA 1006 and NFPA 1670, as well as the National and local EMS protocols.

I am currently accredited to teach the following PA State Fire Academy/DOH Bureau of EMS rescue classes:

In addition I serve as one of several lead instructors for the Penn State University Managing Agricultural Emergencies Program.  For more information on this program, go here.

If you are from outside of PA, or looking for something different, I have several of my own courses that are available for presentation. These can be customized to in basic vehicle rescue, updated new vehicle anatomy, truck/bus/machinery rescue, patient care and extrication practicals, etc. 

Many of these programs are approved for PA EMS continuing education credits, and I would be willing to submit them to other states for approval.  I will also consider requests to develop special topic or agency specific programs.  If you are interested in any of these programs or wish to inquire about a special program, please use the "Contact Us" form page to inquire.

Note:  I am also able to teach the following PSFA programs, but do so on a very limited basis.  Please contact me for further information:
