Your instructors
First Response has been taught by the same family of firefighters, paramedics and EMTs since 1988 — the same instructors who show up at your workplace or lead the class at our Medford training center.
Owner & Instructor
Stephanie has been with First Response for 18 years and is certified to teach Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR, AED and First Aid. A Southern Oregon native, she loves going into the community to help equip people to be confident in these life-saving skills.
Co-Founder · Advanced EMT & Instructor
Lisa spent 29 years as a Firefighter/EMT and then Advanced EMT. She and Rick founded First Response in 1988 after seeing a need in the community for an instructor flexible enough to come to the customer and teach employees at their own facilities. She teaches all levels of training — from hospital personnel to industry to private citizens.
Co-Founder & Instructor
Rick spent 35 years as a Captain, Paramedic and Firefighter. Mid-career he spent 12 years in law enforcement — first as a reserve officer while still at the fire department, then as police chief for the City of Shady Cove — and served as a SWAT Medic for the Jackson County Sheriff's Dept.
