Our Staff

Although we could fill several web pages with the photos and biographies of the valuable staff, volunteers and part time trainers at Wild Things, there are a few who are considered key personnel who helped build the company and help maintain it today...

Charile Sammut, owner/President with special friends: (left to right)Paula Kristi, Butch & Buffy. Click here for more info and bio on Charlie.

HEATHER & JACOB 009 sml

Heather &Jacob

Heather Greaux

  General Manager, Trainer and CFO for EARS.

Heather joined the team in early 2002 but she's been running EARS for us since its beginning. She moved here with "Butch" and we put her right to work for Wild Things.

Heather & Butch

Andy Serrano - Office Manager

Andy is the newest member of our family and just happens to be the husband of "Squeek" in our education department. (And no, he really doesn't pose like this for all photos, he was actually asked to strike this pose on a photo shoot one day but it does describe his fun personality and willingness to do anything!!!)

Christy Ingram -     Head Trainer and Compound Manager - As of 1999,  20+ years in the business, 16+ with Charlie.

Our two highest seniority: Christy & "Josef"

jacob & Aja sml

Lauren Serrano (aka "Squeek") is another of our full time members of our education dept. seen here with "Nadia". We would explain the nickname but Charlie forgot why he gave it to her... Its just a part of her now.

Aja Kase is one of our full time members of our education dept. seen here with "Jacob". Aja came to us from the MGM Grand Hotel Lion exhibit in Las Vegas and out lions seem to know it.

"Al" yup, just good-ole Al. And in our opinion, there isn't a ranch on the planet that could survive without their own Al! There's nothing he can't or wont do for the animals and we couldn't imagine being is business without him. Al's been with us now for 9 years.

"Charlotte Muia" is one of our most valued volunteers and donors. Charlotte maintains a weekly schedule to help us care for our animals that is as valuable to us as any of our full timers. Charlotte's husband, Carl, has also donated his time and expertise to make the home for our animals all that it can be.

Christine Llewelyn works as a full time supervisor of the Wildlife Theater of Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, CA and part time as a volunteer/ lion trainer for Wild Things. Jacob (right) has truly learned to appreciate her visits.

Ferret with our HUGE raccoon, Ramsey

Angela (the "ferret") Dacus: is yet another volunteer at Wild Things who has dedicated enough time and energy to grace the pages of our website. The meaning of her nick-name is being withheld to protect the not so innocent...

Vickey Overstreet: Volunteer (and then some) !!! ("Zaire"or lioness's and "Clyde" our Camel's Mom) We have to credit Vickey for making not only a substantial physical commitment to Wild Things but a substantial financial one as well. Several animals have much more special lives thanks to Vickey and her gracious donations .

Deb Michelotte: Another very special volunteer who has been with us for 7 years and never had a fight with Charlie. THAT'S A  RECORD!!! She holds many more championship titles at Wild Things including "The most NORMAL Human Being" amongst us. Deb is also  Mom to "Eli, our serval. (The fact that her husband, Loui, and her have a vintage Corvette doesn't hurt her standing with Charlie either...) If you meet her, be sure and ask her to tell you her  "grocery shopping joke".

Deb with Maizy

Mary Schwan: Educational Outreach worker and whatever else we need that day. Mary's husband Rusty has also always been there with his carpentry expertise when we need it. (Mary is mom to several youngsters, including "Gunnar" their human baby and "Gretzky", our Canadian Lynx.)

Shannon Gurley: Shannon is one of the newer people on our volunteer staff but of tremendous value to our programs, certainly valuable enough to deserve mention on the page.
