About the speaker
Ricky Powell began his career in EMS while serving his country in the United States Air Force as a firefighter/medic. Upon completing his tour of duty with the Air Force, Ricky accepted a job with a small city fire department in Texas and a part-time job with a private ambulance service. He soon discovered that he enjoyed the fast-paced atmosphere of EMS and decided to leave firefighting for a full-time career in EMS.
Over the next several years, Ricky would spend his time growing his knowledge of the ambulance industry by managing operations through both private and municipal EMS contracts. In 2000, he founded Guardian EMS. Ricky is dedicated to improving the quality of EMS services and throughout his career turned to technology/data to achieve this goal. His was the first ambulance service in Texas to go to a completely paperless ePCR in late 2001. He worked with multiple software systems over the years and turned to Traumasoft in late 2018 to meet Allegiance鈥檚 needs for the future.
