    Arizona (KNXV) -- When a man collapsed at the golf course where he worked, Perry High School sophomore Gabe Castro didnโ€™t hesitateโ€”he took action.

With no AED nearby, Gabe performed life-saving CPR for 12 straight minutes, keeping the man alive until help arrived.

The man survived and is now recovering, grateful for the 16-year-old who went way beyond his job responsibilities that day.

He learned the life-saving skills just months earlier in a sports medicine class. After acing the real-life test, he's being hailed as a hero, but Gabe insists he was simply doing what anyone should in a similar situation.
