About Claude

I am a an individual with strong morals and integrity, holding these as the cornerstones of my life. I believe the care provided to individuals in their time of need is the greatest and most rewarding calling that can be followed. I am a Respiratory Therapist and a member of the National Board of Respiratory Care (NBRC). I am certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). My previous career in law enforcement and corrections was bed rocked in not only enforcing the law but helping those who had made mistakes to find ways to move forward in their lives. I truly enjoy forming a personal bond with not only the clients I assist but their families and giving them the peace of mind that someone who is truly dedicated is caring for them. My greatest achievement is earning the trust of the clients that I assist and their families and seeing the relief when the realize they have made a solid decision in allowing me to provide the care that they need.
