In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Matthew Fader. Matthew, originally from the United States, has lived in Sweden for the second half of his life.  Our conversation jumps right into his first rescue and why he has been in search and rescue the majority of his life. At 19 years old, he helped an unconscious surfer with a head laceration, by providing CPR to him on the beach.  After a helicopter came to extract the victim, and from that day forward, he knew what he wanted to do!  He made a move to Sweden with his now wife and has made his life there. While living in Sweden, Matthew wanted to continue working in the field of rescue. He found the Swedish Sea Rescue Society (SSRS) and has been with them ever since. He tells us all sorts of stories from his time with SSRS. One of these stories includes a time when he and the SSRS deployed to Greece to help with the influx of refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean. Enjoy!
