Bryan Brantley was chosen by his coworkers at National EMS as the Emergency Medical Technician of the Year for the Rockdale division.

"He's always willing to help, always has a positive attitude," says Huey Atkins, National EMS's director of operations for Rockdale and Morgan counties.

"He's very dependable, very good in his skills and in taking care of patients."

The 31-year old Salem High School alum has been with National EMS for seven years. Brantley, his wife, and their young daughter live in Conyers.
