My experiences with the paranormal have only occurred since I have been investigating the paranormal. I always thought there were other things out there. Since I have been investigating the paranormal, I have expanded my interest into conducting a basic house blessing for clients. My other great interest is the work of demonology. In working in these fields you have to have great respect for the spiritual world and for me a good sound spiritual foundation to continue this work.
Hobbies: Hunting/Fishing, fly tying, golf, spending time with my family and the grand kids.

I became obsessed with the idea of life after death, and hoping for one, after watching friends and family pass away as I was growing up. I began researching and investigating haunted locations and recording E.V.P.s om my own, and did so for a number of years I had a growing hunger for paranormal knowledge and lore.
This has been my private passion since my teens. Learning as much as I have, and continue to, has driven me to be a very progressively driven individual who proudly has a number of positions with a respected, and admired “family” of like-minded individuals.

When I was a young child, my family lived beside a cemetery. I would
wander into it and spend quite a bit of my day there, and have wondered about the many people I would meet there - If they were actually living?- So, I started at a very early age noticing the paranormal activity around me. As I got older, I often had the feeling of "not being alone". I have never been afraid of this feeling - Yet-. The more I hear voices, the more I feel drawn to the paranormal. I also know to never take these "feelings" for granted, nor do I invite them, but acknowledging them so far, gives me comfort. My interest in the paranormal grows stronger each day.

I've been involved with paranormal teams since 2009. Since childhood, my curiosity and interest in the paranormal began while growing up in a 1918 Victorian home. Being an empath and sensitive, I would see, feel, and sense unexplainable events, being watched, and seeing shadows. Most notably, an unforgettable event as a teenager: waking up to an elderly man dressed in a long coat and fedora, asking for someone. I responded, “there’s no one here by that name; you need to leave.” The man then walked out of my room. I never heard the front door open or close and when I looked outside to be sure he had left, I saw nobody outside. I have a fondness for historical buildings and locations, especially in New England. Over the years, I have gained knowledge through personal experiences, events, training, and harnessed my sensitivity by becoming a Reiki Master in 2013. I believe combining the technical, historical, and spiritual aspects lends to a well-rounded investigation that is respectful, professional, and thorough.
