About
TRU Patriot
Matthew Bergondo, the founder of Tru Patriot CPR, brings a lifetime of dedication and expertise in emergency response and lifesaving training. An honorably discharged disabled veteran, Matt served in the United States Air Force as a firefighter, where his passion for lifesaving began.
Military Service and Firefighting Career
During his service, Matt was stationed in diverse locations, including Wyoming, Guam, and Saudi Arabia. It was in Guam where he became a certified CPR instructor in 1996, a certification he proudly maintains. After his military service, Matt joined the Department of Defense Fire Department, advancing rapidly through the ranks to become a Captain. Over his distinguished career, he contributed to specialized teams such as Dive Rescue, High Angle/Confined Space Rescue, and Hazmat, and was instrumental in EMS as the program coordinator. He also became a certified EMT instructor, facilitating courses for military and civilian personnel.
Continued Dedication to Safety and Training
Upon retiring from firefighting, Matt continued to impart his knowledge, working as a Safety Professional for a major electrical company in the oil and gas sector. His expertise led him to become a Certified Safeland instructor, conducting essential safety courses.
Community Engagement and Teaching
In 2024, Matt and his wife Tristan relocated to Lake Havasu City, AZ, drawn by their love for the community and a desire to give back. Tristan, a dedicated nurse, and Matt, both active in their local church, share a deep commitment to helping others. Their dedication to public safety and community welfare drives their mission at Tru Patriot CPR.
