Rick Simpson, CCEMT-P

Born and raised in Auburn, paramedic Rick Simpson feels very fortunate to be able to do what he loves in the place he calls home.

Rick is the organization’s clinical database administrator and the manager of the Human Patient Simulator program, a mobile, self-contained, emergency training lab housed in an RV.

After working 21 years for United Ambulance (serving 5 years as operations manager), Rick joined LifeFlight in 1999. He says delivering pre-hospital critical care has been the most rewarding experience of his life. “I am blessed to be able to care for people who are in their most important time of need. It’s humbling to see the miracle of timely critical care happen right before your eyes.”

Rick also enjoys spending time at home with his family in central Maine, listening to music and playing around with computers.
