My name is Josh Stuart.  Foremost, I am a family man with a wife and three kids, but professionally my title is Paramedic for Medical Rescue Team South Authority, in suburban Pittsburgh, PA.  I am also a Preceptor, a Child Passenger Seat Technician and a speaker on the dangers of Risky Teen Behaviors.  In 2006, I had the unfortunate experience of having to attend to a 14 year old who died while playing "The Choking Game" at which time I decided to educate my peers in the Emergency Medical Services, fellow parents and children to the dangers that these teens are imposing on themselves. 

With the help of Officer Scott MethenyTwp,  of Upper Moreland PA, Dr. Kristen Seaman, Chief Todd Pritchard, and the staff of Medical Rescue Team South Authority, I began this endeavor and began teaching about "THE CHOKING GAME". Shortly thereafter I began to develop my own curriculum addressing Risky Teen Behavior not routinely addressed by D.A.R.E. or other prevention programs.
