A 5th grader from Bay City is being called a hero after saving his teachers life last week...

Principal Lisa Rhodus said on Monday morning, May 6, a computer teacher was eating a muffin and could not breathe.

"All of a sudden she starts doing the universal choking sign, which I see. I get out of my chair, take off my phones, and I ask her if she is choking," said Dylan Paul, student.

"What I did was I propped right up at the sternum and then I would pull back. And then somebody else, the other kids in my class went to go get teachers to help, but when they got there I already, um, she had already stopped choking," Dylan said.

Rhodus said the student’s mom is a nurse but the student saw the maneuver on YouTube.

"There's this YouTuber, Jaiden Animations. She made a video where she gave information on how to do the Heimlich maneuver," said Dylan Paul, fifth grader.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
