LEAD INSTRUCTOR & FOUNDER
FIELD-TESTED. CLINICALLY PROVEN.
“I built CPR-Life Services LLC to bridge the gap between textbook medical protocols and high-stress, real-world application. I don't just teach theory; I train you for the reality of the field.”
Founded and led by Brendan Tran, a highly decorated U.S. Navy veteran with over 13 years of front-line service as a FMF (Fleet Marine Force) Hospital Corpsman, EMT, Emergency Management Director, and Tactical Casualty Care Instructor, we bring profound, practical knowledge to every class. Brendan has managed complex medical operations, responded decisively to critical incidents, including mass casualty events where his actions ensured zero loss of life, and trained thousands of military personnel and first responders for high-threat environments. This deep expertise ensures you receive practical, effective, and potentially life-saving skills grounded in proven best practices, not just textbook theory. We are committed to empowering you with the confidence to act when it counts.
