Hello! My name is Tyson.

When I was a teenager I witnessed a terrible accident change a person’s life forever. Since this time I knew I never wanted to feel helpless in an emergency ever again when championing safer communities became a conviction of mine; I became a Paramedic and currently work full time on an ambulance.

Over the last decade I have had invaluable life experiences from volunteering at a level 1 pediatric trauma center, safe wheelchair transportation, time in the emergency department, and, closest to my heart, 911 emergency ambulance response and transportation. My time as a Paramedic has fueled my passion for sharing the things I’ve learned in an attempt in build safer communities. 

Day-to-day as a Paramedic I see first-hand the physical, mental, emotional, and financial impacts that occur from significant, and more frequently, mild motor vehicle accidents. I decided to open Vital Drive to both help address the need for driver’s education in Oregon and provide applicable CPR & First Aid training for the lay person, communities, and the healthcare provider.
