Meet the Team
Before Rachel Stewart ever ran her first EMS call, she had already spent a decade as a doula, childbirth educator, and midwife, present for some of the most critical and intimate moments a human being can experience. That foundation shaped everything that came after. She has been in EMS for twenty years, and within five minutes of meeting her, you will have already told her things you have not told your closest friends. That is not an accident. It is who she is.
She is tough when the moment calls for it, direct when you need a correction, and genuinely invested in your success in a way that students recognize immediately and do not forget. Many have called her the mom they never had, or the one they did not know they needed.
She holds NAEMSE EMS Instructor certifications at both Level I and II, is a Prodigy EMS Instructor, and served as an NREMT National Representative from 2015 to 2024, a role that could have taken her anywhere in the country. She stayed in Utah, where for nine years she evaluated every advanced level of EMS provider at the state level. She has seen more psychomotor exams than most instructors will encounter in an entire career. She knows exactly what the standard looks like, and she will make sure you meet it.
Her awards include EMS Educator of the Year from the Utah Bureau of EMS, K-12 & Post-Secondary Educator of the Year in Iron County, and HOSA Post-Secondary Advisor of the Year, first at the State Leadership Conference, then at the International Leadership Conference. The awards confirm what her students already knew.
She believes it is always about the student. Full stop.
Credentials & Certifications
Awards & Recognition
Charlie Gray had been in two industries most of his early adult life: restaurants and music. He started working in restaurants in 1993 and has been behind a DJ booth since 1994. What those two decades taught him about having fun with a crowd, engaging a room, and developing the kind of speaking ability that most instructors spend years trying to fake. That did not go anywhere when he changed careers. It became his teaching style.
His academic background runs deep in the biological sciences, through a Bachelor of Science and into doctoral-level veterinary study. He knows his medicine cold, but he also knows that teaching medicine is not about talking at people. It is about making the material approachable and understandable. He has been told he can break it down for a six-year-old. He takes that as a compliment.
When the pandemic ended his restaurant management career in 2020, he did not go back. He got his EMT in 2021, ran wildland fire on an engine crew that same season, became an AEMT, worked as a wilderness medic, taught CTE, joined the University of Utah as an adjunct AEMT instructor, and has been running event medical response at Rice-Eccles Stadium since 2022. He founded a private EMS training program in 2024 and relocated and relaunched it as 4Front Emergency Training Center in Roy in 2025.
He is an "Edu-tainer." He figured out early on in EMS that people learn better when they are engaged, and that medicine does not have to be boring. You can learn meaningful and impactful life-saving skills and have fun. He supplies both, at the same time, without apology.
He has been called a favorite teacher more times than he can count. He takes that more seriously than any credential on his wall.
He knows his medicine. He just makes it fun and impossible to forget.
