Instructor
Jim Resnick has been teaching CPR since 1978 and first aid since the 1980s. He has been involved in fire and rescue services for about 40 years and has been involved with countless cardiac arrests and other medical and trauma emergencies. He worked as a career firefighter and paramedic for Montgomery County, MD until June 2014 and he is still an active, volunteer paramedic.
While he ensures that his CPR and First Aid students are performing the skills correctly, Jim also makes his classes fun and interesting. Jim says that some of his proudest moments have been when his former students have told him how they were instrumental in saving a relative, neighbor, friend, coworker, or even a complete stranger.
When he’s not teaching fire safety and injury prevention for seniors, Jim enjoys working out, bicycling, movies and spending time with family and friends, especially at sporting events. He and his wife live in Kensington, Maryland with their three boys
