Why I Teach CPR: A Very Personal Story

Eight years ago, my son was born with a life-threatening heart defect—Transposition of the Great Arteries. What started as a perfect delivery quickly turned into one of the scariest moments of our lives. His skin turned blue, his oxygen plummeted, and within days he underwent open heart surgery.

On day seven, I finally held him for the first time—IVs, tubes, and all. Today, he’s a healthy, thriving boy, but that experience changed me forever. It showed me how fragile life can be and how much every second matters in an emergency.

That’s why I teach CPR and lifesaving skills. For me, it’s not about a certification card—it’s about giving medical professionals, families, teachers, and everyday people the confidence to act when lives are on the line.

This is my why.

“Heart” felt thanks to Brian Simpson of Heart Warrior CPR. Brian, is by far, the extreme best of all instructors. His explanation of procedures is concise and clear. He teaches with compassion and empathy. Most importantly, he wants the student to completely understand the “how to” and “what if” scenarios before leaving his class. I highly recommend Heart Warrior CPR for your next certification! Thank you!

We had Brian come to lead a CPR training class for the youth and children workers at our church. Our folks thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the feedback I got was that they felt empowered, equipped, and encouraged. Brian answered all questions and made it a very thorough and enjoyable learning experience. I heartily recommend Brian for your church, school or civic organization for CPR training for your workers.

Brian is a wonderful and knowledgeable instructor! He takes the time to make sure you understand the instruction. Brian was grateful enough to take me at last minute and I am grateful I found him! His CPR recertification class was one of the most in-depth class I have had hands down!! I liked using the feedback dummies so you can actually know when you are providing the right amount of depth when giving compressions. I won’t lie I was sore the next day after my class, but I sure did walk away feeling confident that I could properly perform CPR if need.

I’m newly a police officer and after doing the online portion I was still worried I didn’t have the knowledge to confidently give cpr if needed. After the in class portion with Brian Simpson all of those doubts went away! He clearly addressed any questions anyone had , demonstrated and even was able to make the class fun. 100% recommend to anyone that needs a bls certification or cpr certification.
Cory Benavides Police Officer
