I started teaching CPR and ACLS for the US Navy in 2000, just before deploying to Iraq for Operation Iraqi enduring Freedom. I was overseas for over a year and was injured there. When I got back to the States I did not know what to do cause I was in the process of getting out of the military. I recieved an offer to teach CPR with UCSD while still in the service. I later taught CPR and ACLS for Sharp hospital in 2003. I worked with them while attending school until 2011. I saw how Sharp Hospital would make learning CPR for its students difficult and in some cases make students cry. I did not like this way of teaching. I wanted to have a company that makes learning CPR fun easy to understand and even an experience. So in 2011 I started The Beating Heart Center and I plan to make this grow to show that learning first aid, CPR and even the more difficult program ACLS, can be fun and a great experience.
