Meet the Instructor: Eli Neirick
Hi, I’m Eli, the founder of n.e. thing training. I started this company in February 2025 with one goal in mind: to make CPR and first aid training more accessible, engaging, and impactful. As a certified CPR instructor, lifeguard, and student athletic training aide, I’ve seen firsthand how critical it is to have the right skills in an emergency. Whether it’s responding to an athlete’s injury on the field, handling a poolside incident, or preparing others for the unexpected, I’m passionate about empowering people with lifesaving knowledge.
Why I Started n.e. thing training
From a young age, I was drawn to safety, emergency response, and helping others. My experience as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and student athletic training aide taught me the importance of being prepared when seconds matter. I noticed that many people hesitate in emergencies—not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know what to do. That’s why I created n.e. thing training: to bridge the gap between uncertainty and action.
