Benson Ngatia
My name is Benson Ngatia, and my journey into first aid began in a school in Kenya, East Africa, where I served as a Boy Scout providing basic care. Today, as a Firefighter and Paramedic in the Denver metro area, I’ve seen firsthand the tragic outcomes of lacking CPR and AED skills. That’s why I founded Keep Beating CPR—to ensure individuals and healthcare professionals have the life-saving techniques they need.
