Chuck Wooters

Chuck's interest in search & rescue evolved out of a love of the outdoors and the opportunity to spend more time working with his dogs. He has been active with SAR dog training for a number of years and feels that not too many sights can top watching a skilled search dog work out a particularly difficult problem. Chuck currently works Redd as an air scent dog in wilderness lost person search, as well as urban disaster with the Pennsylvania Task Force 1 disaster response team. In addition to search & rescue, Chuck is a volunteer ambulance driver. He works full time as a design engineer in the trauma medical field.
