Farley Kautz, Director
Farley started NwBestCPR with the goal of customizing every class to the needs of our clients. He began his entrepreneurial career creating an outdoor school for high school and college aged students taking them on three to four week expeditions across the western United States backpacking, climbing, and rafting the mountains, canyons, and rivers of Colorado, Utah, and Alaska.
With 35 years experience teaching Wilderness First Aid and the essentials of bystander CPR, Farley loves building lasting relationships with NwBestCPR's clients and still teaches almost daily. He tries his best to make your training educational, empowering, and FUN! |
Whitney Smith R.N.
Whitney works as a trauma nurse in the Harborview Emergency Department. She teaches other healthcare providers CPR as often as she can. Drawing from years of experience in the professional medical community and military training, Whitney's classes are detailed, current and highly educational.
As an world traveler, with vast experience in different cultures, including extended time in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, Whitney's students consistently rate her the most encouraging and knowledgeable instructor they have ever met! |
Hisato Nakamura M.D.
Hisato, or "Col" (short for Coltrane) as he is affectionately known by family and friends, is a retired physician who loves teaching advanced First Aid, Outdoor Living Skills, and Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Professionals in third world countries where limited medical resources make lifesaving education especially valuable.
Raised on a remote island in Japan, Hisato has since traveled the world teaching, lecturing, and learning. Known for his amiable nature and urbane sense of humor, Hisato seldom shares his personal history, but if you ask about his medical experiences in third world countries, he might tell you fascinating stories you wouldn't believe! |
