A Chick-fil-A employee from Chula Vista, California is being hailed as a hero after his quick-thinking led to him saving a man’s life.

Tauya Nenguke, a 22-year-old team leader, was working his normal shift at the drive-thru window on Wednesday night when he saw something suspicious going on across the parking lot. Without hesitating, he handed his iPad to a co-worker and sprinted over to see what was going on.

When Tauya got there, he saw a 20-year-old man going into cardiac arrest on the ground as his friends desperately tried to perform CPR on him. Tauya, who wants to go to nursing school and already had pre-nursing classes under his belt, stepped in right away to perform chest compressions on the unresponsive individual as he told the man’s friends to call 911. In addition, he taught the young man’s friends how to perform CPR so they could help do it until paramedics arrived.

Cheryl Shields, director of marketing and community relations for Eastlake Terraces Chick-fil-A, took to Facebook to praise Tauya for his heroism.

“The EMT stated that if it wasn’t for his quick action, this young man might not have survived,” Shields wrote, calling Tauya a  “CFA Hero!”

Tauya, a proud Christian, believes God put him there to save the man.

I knew that was the place where God placed me at that time,” he said. “This was honestly a really big calling to be in health care because it was like instinct took over.”
