Autorenporträt

Loui McCurley is CEO of PMI and founder of our Vertical Rescue Solutions training arm. Loui's foray into rescue began in 1985, when she joined Alpine Rescue Team in Colorado; today she serves as a Technical Specialist with Alpine. In 1998 Loui traveled to scores of countries across the globe to study technical rescue abroad. Upon returning to the USA Loui co-founded Alpine Center for Rescue Studies, a non-profit research and testing lab, and became a regular presenter at the International Technical Rescue Symposium. During this time she began consulting to PMI on various projects, eventually coming on board full time in 1992 in a technical capacity. In 1996 she instigated the formation of the Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians. Over the years, Loui has also served as a structural firefighter, a wildland firefighter, a rope access technician, a safety consultant, and an expert witness. Today Loui's primary role is as CEO of PMI, so she doesn't get to teach as often as she'd like, but she is passionately interested in bridging the gap between regulatory compliance and real-world safety practices. A frequent presenter and conferences and symposia, Loui is a published author with chapters in High Angle Rescue Techniques, and Wilderness Medicine, as well as two titles of her own: Working Safely at Height: A Guide To Professional Rope Access (Wiley, 2016) and Falls From Height: A Guide To Rescue Planning (Wiley, 2012).
