AURA Founder, Lead Investigator
"Researching and investigating anomalous activity and events is my passion! After investigating on my own for nearly a decade, witnessing numerous unexplainable events along the way, I decided it was time to take it to the next level. I took several courses to help me prepare for leading my own team (see courses section below), and founded AURA in the Spring of 2009. I am the CPFI Regional Director of Florida with ParaNexus.org I contacted MUFON, Mutual UFO Network for instruction on the proper procedure for investigating UFO reports, and soon became a MUFON Field Investigator, and was rapidly promoted to the position of Florida MUFON State Section Director. I have also recently organized The Tampa Bay MUFON Group. I am an Ordained Minister of the Universal Life Church. Besides my research, I love fishing, being in the wilderness, antique shops and road trips.
