Curiosity. Service. Stories that matter.
I am Andrew Perry, an EMT, writer, speaker, advocate, podcaster, and builder from Northeast Arkansas. My work lives where emergency medicine, public service, communication, storytelling, and creativity meet.
I care about useful ideas, honest conversations, stronger communities, and the people doing the work when it matters most.

The work
Different lanes. One common thread: people, communication, and making complicated things more useful.
EMS & Advocacy
Frontline EMS, rural systems, public trust, workforce issues, policy communication, and advocacy for the systems communities depend on.
Writing & Speaking
Articles, talks, interviews, and conversations about EMS, leadership, public relations, advocacy, communication, and the human side of complex systems.
Podcast & Creative Work
Podcasting, storytelling, photography, digital media, and the ideas that start with one dangerous question: what if we tried this?
There is always more to the story.
A patient encounter, an EMS policy, a community problem, a strange historical fact, or a creative project almost always gets more interesting once you stay curious long enough.
That is the thread underneath the work: understand the people, ask better questions, communicate clearly, and leave something useful behind.
Field Notes
Essays, observations, projects, experiments, and the questions that do not always fit neatly anywhere else.
Published Work
Selected writing on emergency medical services, leadership, advocacy, public relations, rural systems, and the people behind the work.
Speaking & Media
Conference sessions, panels, media interviews, podcasts, expert commentary, and conversations that make complicated work easier to understand.
ADHD And The Theory Of All The Things
A curiosity driven podcast about the history, science, psychology, people, and strange connections hiding inside ordinary things.
Bring me the interesting work.
Speaking, interviews, podcasts, media requests, collaborations, and thoughtful projects are all welcome.
