Nick Rondinelli
(Director of Operations)

Nick Rondinelli began his career as a Lifeguard and Water Safety/ Swimming Instructor in Thunder Bay, ON. After working 10 years as a First Aid and CPR Instructor with the Canadian Red Cross, Nick opened Heart to Heart First Aid/CPR Services, an Authorized Provider for the Canadian Red Cross and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. His company has been in operation for 9 years and has trained and certified over 20,000 people in First Aid and CPR. Since its inception, Heart 2 Heart has become one of the top Authorized Providers for the Canadian Red Cross in Ontario. Nick is also one of the few Instructor Trainers in Ontario responsible for certifying and re-certifying Red Cross instructors.

During this time, Nick also pursued a career in television production. Nick studied and graduated from Confederation College in the Radio and Television Broadcasting Program. Combining both of his passions, Nick Rondinelli produced, directed and hosted “First Response”, a series of first aid/ CPR and health & safety videos which have been approved by the Canadian Red Cross and used in Red Cross courses throughout Canada. Since then, Nick has versioned “First Response” to the American market (endorsed by American CRR Training) as well as the UK market (endorsed by the British Red Cross). Nick is currently developing a babysitting educational video as well as a first aid video for kids called “Be A Hero”. Throughout the last 3 years, Nick has also done public speaking on various first aid topics and was featured on City TV’s parent family show, Cityline. He has also done periodic appearances on the Daytime Show.

Today you will find Nick working hard on building his businesses, Heart to Heart First Aid CPR Services and his television production company, Giraffe Multimedia Inc. He values his clients and works hard everyday to develop the best training possible with easy to learn teaching methods and high quality multimedia resource materials. “I could never have done it without the support of my clients and community …and for that I am forever grateful.”, says Nick. The biggest gift that I can give back is ensuring that each and every student that is trained by Heart to Heart leaves with the confidence and skills to handle an emergency situation ….and remember what to do for years to come”.

Nick’s other great accomplishments was receiving the Duke of Edinborough’s Gold Award presented by Prince Phillip as well as being a national athlete in gymnastics.
