Bret Hutchings is our guest representing the men and women who risk their lives going out in adverse conditions often to respond to the efforts to save the lives of people in accidents, lost, injured, and need urgent care with a helicopter rescue mission. Bret has been a pilot for The University of Utah Airmed, Intermountain Healthcare LifeFlight, and Utah Highway Patrol Helicopter Service. Bret has spent many many hours in his helicopter flying over rugged terrain and adverse weather making every effort to get to the people that need him. This humble guy is in our chair to talk about what his life is like, who he serves, and what life means to him. He has been close to death and has seen death. Bret is all about his team and never about him. He puts everyone first especially his family. He is truly one of the good guys. If you need the heck out of somewhere and it is bad, Hutch can get you out. "Revered as one of the greatest pilots that professionals can rely on".
