Our Mission

Welcome to Alpha Bravo First Aid, your go-to local small business in Westminster, Maryland, for learning life-saving skills!

We also help local businesses stay prepared with our first aid kit restocking service—because being ready should be simple and stress-free.

​

The founder, Nicholas Plazio, brings serious experience to the table. Having worked for the Maryland State Police, Carroll County Sheriff and served in the United States Marine Corps, Nick has faced high-stakes situations. During bootcamp, he suffered a near-fatal heat stroke, which, after his recovery, sparked a passion for teaching others how to prevent and respond to emergencies. This led him to become an American Heart Association CPR instructor. Now, he’s channeling that expertise into Alpha Bravo to teach our community how to save lives with confidence.

​

Alpha Bravo First Aid was launched after Nick won a business contest at the Community College of Baltimore County, where he envisioned accessible, engaging CPR training paired with top-quality, American-made first aid kits. We’re a small business with a big mission: to be Maryland’s favorite CPR company while supporting American craftsmanship.

​

Why do we do this? Because we believe preparedness builds stronger communities. Every class we teach and every kit we stock is a chance to make Westminster a safer place. We’re here to keep things straightforward, reliable, and rooted in care—so come take a CPR class or give us a call to get your first aid kits customized. Let’s make a difference together, one heartbeat at a time!
