Rick Chap

President
BuddyCPR

Rick Chap is co-founder of BuddyCPR, an organization dedicated to saving lives from SCA and a partner in StrataVerve, a strategic marketing research practice. Rick is a grateful Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivor since 2012. Rick survived due to a “purrfect” chain of survival, when the family cat Buddy alerted wife-saver Jennifer that something was wrong. She dialed 911 and performed dispatcher-assisted CPR until EMS arrived. Since his cardiac arrest, Rick has become active in the cause sharing his story to inspire others to learn CPR, serving as an advisor/volunteer with SCA Foundation, teaching CPR/AED skills as a volunteer BLS instructor with Orlando Fire Department, served on the Orlando Health Heart Institute Patient Family Advisory Council. Rick enthusiastically shares his belief, “We are all born with CPR tools right here in our own hands.”
