(OK Team Leader; AKA SoonerQuick)
1. In less than 100 words. How did you get interested and subsequentially involved in the paranormal.
I guess my interest started pretty young. I had always been interested in horror flicks and also every time a show about hauntings would come on you could find me glued in front of the TV. Personally I became involved after having an experience after a friend had passed on. For several days after his death several things happened including phone calls from his cell phone that was deactivated and him coming to me in my dreams. I figured this was his way of letting me know he was ok. From there I did the Google search for teams in my area of Tulsa, Oklahoma and found two teams who I have worked with ever since. From there I found the wonderful people of ICPIR and they have taken me in as one of my own.
2. What is your field of expertise or interest (i.e. film/editing/ research/ sensitive work, etc)?
My field of expertise would be videography & editing. My field of interest other than the previously mentioned would have to be EVP. I think EVP is what will eventually give us the hard evidence to prove that an afterlife exits.
3. What is your favorite ghost hunting gadget?
My video camera and Adobe Premier.
4. What is your favorite book?
Any of the Harry Potter series.
5. If you could choose three dead people for a little chat, who would it be and why?
1. My Grandma & Grandpa Rowe, I miss them and would love to talk to them to see if they are happy with the way I have lived my life.
2. Grandpa Quickle, I miss him and wanna talk with him. I miss our talks about Native history.
3. Sequoyah - Native American leader and inventor of the Cherokee alphabet. Would ask him the true origin of his decent and hear his stories personally of his life.
6. Three reasons why you believe in ghosts?
1. Personal experience.
2. To think we are alone would be superficial on our part.
3. Personal experience.
7. What would you consider the "Holy Grail" of potential ICPIR investigation sites?
I'll throw a couple out. The Alamo and Gettysburg for obvious reasons of the history of these two sites. Bran Castle aka Dracula's Castle in Romania.
8. Any other Hobbies?
I am a World Champion Powerlifter and workout and do Personal Training. I am currently working on my Bachelors in Sports Medicine and attend school full time. I have been an avid Storm Chaser for 11 years and I am a certified Skywarn member and team leader. I have chased many tornadoes including the May 1999 tornado that hit the Oklahoma City and Moore, Oklahoma areas which recorded the highest windspeed ever on the face of the earth.
9. What is your favorite type of music?
I pretty much like anything and everything! Just depends on my mood and what I'm doing. Gotta have the heavy stuff for a workout though :)
10. Paper or Plastic?
Plastic, so many other uses for plastic!
