Travis Smith, AEMT
Chief Executive Officer Public Relations Director |
Hi, my name is Travis. I am an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) with more than 13 years of experience in emergency medical services, public safety, and lifesaving education. I began my career as an Emergency Medical Responder and have since developed a broad professional foundation in emergency response, patient care, fire and rescue services, and community-based safety training.
I earned my Advanced Emergency Medical Technician license from Dyersburg State Community College and hold the State of Tennessee EMS Instructor Coordinator certification, which authorizes me to deliver EMS education. My instructional background includes experience with both the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association, where I have supported the development of practical, standards-based lifesaving skills.
I am known for professionalism, technical knowledge, and a commitment to high-quality instruction. Through my work, I help individuals and organizations strengthen their ability to respond effectively in critical situations. My mission is to advance lifesaving readiness by equipping others with the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to make a meaningful difference when it matters most.
