Heart Compression Resuscitation LLC
A New Standard for "Feel'n Real" CPR Training Manikins
MANAGEMENT TEAM
Dan May, Founder, President and Managing Member
Mr. May earned a bachelors’ degree in Physical Education from the State University of New York. Dan is the founder of HCR and is the visionary behind the design and development of the HCR manikin.
As indicated earlier, in his younger years, Dan was a life guard and then a water safety instructor for the American Red Cross. At this time, he was also the director of a local swim program that involved over three (300) hundred students, and which involved teaching CPR to lifeguards in training. This experience provided Dan with an early introduction to the need to use more realistic manikins for CPR training.
For over thirty years, including ten years more recently with Stantec Consulting Inc, Dan developed and practiced his skill as an inspector and oversaw a large number of significant projects in the Tucson area, including expansion at the Tucson International Airport, several projects in the development and expansion of Sahuarita and its many subdivisions, the Continental Reserve infrastructure loop and subdivisions, and many other projects. While with Stantec, Dan developed the project inspection scopes, which guided Stantec’s engineers in certifying the construction of their project plans for their clients.
Since 2009, Dan has dedicated his time to launching and guiding the progress of HCR.
