At Nuvision Credit Union, we understand the immense value that first responders bring to our communities. They risk their lives daily to ensure the safety and well-being of others, often without seeking recognition. That’s why it’s so important for us to highlight their work and honor their dedication. This month, as part of our National First Responders Day celebration, we are thrilled to recognize Tim Keating, Fire Captain with the Huntington Beach Fire Department, as Firefighter of the Year.

What inspires someone to dedicate their life to saving others? For Trevor McLean, it was a combination of timing, personal experience, and a drive to make a difference. After serving as a Navy Corpsman, Trevor found his calling in firefighting and rescue work. Now, as a Firefighter/EMT with the Anchorage Fire Department, Trevor brings his passion for service to Alaska. We’re proud to feature him as part of our Nuvision Heroes series for National First Responders Day.

What does it mean to protect and serve? For Officer Taylor Davoren, it’s not about recognition; it’s about commitment to her community. In honor of National First Responders Day, we’re proud to feature Taylor, a third-generation police officer and Huntington Beach’s Officer of the Year. Her dedication to helping others and building trust within her community is the kind of service that makes a lasting difference, especially in her work with young people and community safety programs.

Some heroes don’t wear badges—they carry rescue gear and watch over our beaches. This month, in honor of National First Responders Day, we’re proud to feature Captain Andrew Mackie from the Huntington Beach Marine Safety Division. Since joining the department in 2003, Andrew has dedicated himself to keeping the coast safe and inspiring the next generation of lifeguards. From lifesaving rescues to leading critical training programs, his commitment to public safety and mentorship has left a lasting impact on Huntington Beach.

National First Responders Day is a time to recognize the courage and dedication of those who put their lives on the line to protect and serve. Every day, across our communities, these brave individuals respond to emergencies, disasters, and crises, often at great personal risk. At Nuvision Credit Union, we’re proud to honor the first responders who serve with unwavering commitment, and we’re especially excited to feature five remarkable heroes this year: Andrew Mackie, Sean Keating, Taylor Davoren, Tim Keating, and Trevor McLean.
