A Coast Guard rescue swimmer is already being hailed as an “American hero” after his very first mission — helping to save the lives of 165 Texas flash flood victims.

“This is what it’s all about, right? Like, this is why we do the job,” said Scott Ruskan, 26, a New Jersey native and former KPMG accountant, to The Post after his work in central Texas.

“This is why we take those risks all time. This is why like Coast Guard men and women are risking their lives every day,” said Petty Officer Ruskan, who was in charge of triage at Camp Mystic, the Christian girls’ summer camp that saw some of the worst of the flooding.

  2. Just like KPMG to leech on to someone who left their firm and accomplished good things thereafter. His success has little to do with KPMG and everything with leaving KPMG.

    3. Haters will always hate. Where do you see KPMG releasing any statements regarding this individual? Get a life.

  4. He was an audit intern for 4 months. He didn’t return to KPMG – good for us as he went to the Coast Guard. Thank you KPMG for providing him with that experience that led to no return!
