The Civic Resusictation Project

Nathan brings an engaging style of speaking that both inspires and informs an audience of critical topics surrounding sudden cardiac arrest, civic engagement, emergency medical services, and other hot topics in community health and safety. He seeks to make a personal connection with his audience and has worked with multiple media styles to find ways to make messages heard.
