Meet our Angel Hearts Team:
Michael Harrell Sr.
(Lead Instructor)
I am a 56 year old husband and father. I am also an Air Force veteran, a Firefighter for 37 years, a former Fire Chief, and a Fire Instructor for nearly 30 years. I absolutely love and enjoy teaching!
As a young Air Force Firefighter, I embraced the opportunity to serve, not only my country but
my local community as well. So: after 35 years of civil service, over 22 years as the Co-Founder
of a Youth track club of USA Track & Field – Arizona, 12 years as a local high school track &
field coach, and nearly 20 years as an Executive Board Member of a local non-profit, I founded
Angel Hearts CPR Training.
With the number of waterways, lakes, swimming pools, etc. in the State of Arizona, I believe the
need grows greater every year, in our communities for more water-safety awareness and CPR
(cardiopulmonary resuscitation training).
My hope is to team up with as many veterans, first responders and community minded people to
offer affordable training to as many residents as possible. Angel hearts, CPR offers high-quality adult, child, and infant CPR certification courses, suitable for schools, communities, and workplaces. You can print your CPR/AED training certificate for healthcare providers after scoring the required passing score. We continue to receive positive feedback from our students about our CPR certification courses. Learn how our program can help you perform CPR and help save a life.
