L.T. Arnold has worked across the spectrum of emergency and critical care medicine since 1992, beginning as a 911 dispatcher and progressing through roles as firefighter/EMT, emergency department technician, ICU nurse, and flight nurse. His nursing career in neonatal and pediatric intensive care at UW Medical Center and Seattle Children’s Hospital expanded into critical care transport and ultimately led him to Airlift Northwest in 2010, where he continues to practice as a flight nurse within the UW Medicine system in Seattle. L.T.’s professional focus centers on bridging prehospital and critical care environments, with particular interest in preparing providers to care confidently for high-risk and low-frequency patients—especially neonatal and pediatric populations. He is an active educator who values practical teaching, mindset, and team culture as much as technical knowledge. L.T. holds degrees in emergency medical services, nursing, and healthcare management, and brings both clinical experience and lived perspective to his presentations. His work frequently explores how mindset, adaptability, and culture influence performance in high-reliability teams.
