From the ashes, we rise — together.
A nonprofit parent organization investing in the long-term wellbeing of EMS providers and the communities they serve.
To strengthen Emergency Medical Services from the inside out — by educating the next generation of clinicians, equipping agencies with the systems they need to thrive, and uplifting the communities they serve through accessible training, scholarships, and life-saving outreach.
The Phoenix Foundation Group exists to close the gap between who answers the call and who has the resources to answer it well. Through our four pillars — Phoenix Solution Systems, Phoenix EMS Academy, Phoenix Community Impact, and our peer support and resilience programs — we build pathways into EMS, sustain the careers of those already in the field, and put life-saving skills directly into the hands of the public.
About the Founder
I founded The Phoenix Foundation Group because I believe Emergency Medical Services deserves better — better training, better leadership, and better support for the people doing the work. My journey through EMS started where most do: on the truck, on the worst day of someone's life, learning that the system around the clinician matters just as much as the clinician themselves.
Over the years, as a provider, an educator, and a leader, I have seen what's possible when agencies invest in their people and what's lost when they don't. Phoenix is my answer to that gap. We build the consulting frameworks, the academy curricula, the workforce pipelines, and the community programs that turn good intentions into measurable outcomes — for providers, for agencies, and for the neighborhoods we serve.
This work is personal. Every scholarship we fund, every student we certify, every CPR clinic we host, and every agency we help rebuild is a step toward an EMS profession that is more skilled, more sustainable, and more representative of the communities it protects. We're just getting started — and I'm grateful you're here for it.
