Built by First Responders. Real-World Lifesaving Experience Brought Directly to Your Classroom

Hello! I’m Leroy Bowles, a career firefighter in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, and a proud Marine Corps veteran. I was born in Austin and raised in Marble Falls, where I graduated from Marble Falls High School. My amazing wife, also from Marble Falls, and I have one wonderful son who lights up our lives. When we’re not busy working, you’ll find us exploring the outdoors with our children, Xavier & Gloria, and our little dog, Sebastian (“Bash”).

Above all, we’re driven by a passion for helping others. That dedication inspired us to start Bright Star CPR; a place where we teach the life-saving skill of hands-on CPR to anyone willing to learn. You never know when an emergency situation may arise, and having the right training can truly mean the difference between life and death.

At Bright Star CPR, our mission is simple; to share high-quality, effective CPR training with as many people as possible. Whether you’re a concerned parent, a responsible caregiver, or simply someone who wants to be prepared, we look forward to welcoming you to one of our upcoming classes. Together, let’s make our community safer; one heartbeat at a time.
