About
our Special Transportation Services Instructor Hans Erdman was initially certified as an Emergency Medical Technician in 1973, and has worked in the patient transportation field since 1975. He worked both paid and volunteer emergency ambulance and rescue from 1975 until 1988, and was a paramedic in the early years of the profession, before you could transfer certification from state to state. In 1988, when Hans moved to Minnesota from his native New York State, he was able to become a park ranger, which is the area he went to college for. He has served with the Dakota and Anoka County Parks Departments, and currently works 10 months each year as a part-time ranger with the Minnesota DNR at Sand Dunes State Forest Recreation Area near Zimmerman, MN. In 1997, he also went to work for Laidlaw Passenger Transportation/Metro Mobility, where he was trained as an STS Instructor. For three years, Hans was the supervisor of the Ride Link wheelchair division of Life Link III Ambulance Service, and then was manager and driver/trainer at Peace Transportation for several years. Hans remains active in the delivery of emergency medical care as a member and coordinator of the medical bike teams at the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival mountain bike race, the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon and the ski patrol for the City of Lakes Loppet Urban Ski Marathon, as well as a number of other "silent sport" events in the Twin Cities area. He has had articles published nationally on the use of mountain bikes in wildland search operations, and patient assessment of foot race competitors by bike-mounted medical personnel, patient assessment of para/quadriplegic patients in motor vehicle accidents, and wrote and edited the Search and Rescue Training Manual for the National Mountain Bike Patrol. He is certified by the Minnesota Department of Transportation to teach all areas of STS training, and is also certified by the AAOS Emergency Care and Safety Institute to teach first aid, CPR, AED and Wilderness Medical Care, and by the National Mountain Bike Patrol as a patrol instructor/trainer.
