Our Mission

Welcome to Alpha Bravo First Aid, your go-to local small business in Westminster, Maryland, for learning life-saving skills! As a proud American Heart Association training site, we offer fun, hands-on First Aid, CPR, and AED classes that leave you ready to handle emergencies. 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 Carroll County Sheriff, Maryland State Police and United States Marine Corps, Nick knows how to stay cool in a crisis. In 2015 he took that expertise to Cintas First Aid and Safety, managing first aid and CPR programs for federal agencies, and now he’s channeling it into Alpha Bravo to teach our community how to save lives with confidence.

​

This all started as a spark of an idea during a project at the Community College of Baltimore County. Nick wanted to create CPR training that’s actually enjoyable and pair it with top-notch, American-made first aid kits. We’re a small business with a big goal: to be Maryland’s favorite CPR company while supporting American craftsmanship. It’s a work in progress, but we’re loving every step of the journey!

​

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 class or give us a call to get your first aid kits customized. Let’s make a difference together, one heartbeat at a time!
