Easton Andersen
Founder
Message from the founder
Easton’s passion for emergency medicine began in high school when he witnessed and assisted at the scene of a serious motorcycle accident. That experience set him on a lifelong path of service and preparedness, driven by the belief that anyone can make a life-or-death difference with the right training.
He works as an Emergency Room nurse, having entered the field in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. While completing nursing school, Easton co-founded the Mountain People Project, a nonprofit that provides wilderness medicine education in remote environments. His work has included training mountaineers in rural India and partnering with local search and rescue teams to deliver high-quality austere care instruction.
Committed to expanding his capabilities, Easton earned his Advanced EMT certification and joined the Utah Army National Guard, where he initially served as a 68G (Patient Administration) before reclassifying to a 68W (Combat Medic). He currently serves in a rapid response medical unit, applying his skills in fast-moving, high-pressure environments.
