Heidi StPierre (5/3/2006)

Sensitive/Investigator, Johnston, RI - After seeing T.R.I.P.R.G. actually at work during a private client case, Heidi was convinced this field of research was for her.  Already experienced through her own personal research, we feel she's eased right into place with us and has already proven herself as an accomplished Team Leader and an invaluable member of our paranormal family.  Heidi has begun the difficult task of  not only starting her own online business (visit the Mystic Moose)  but has begun her work as a Sensitive.  We offer her our sincere well wishes and support as she tackles these most demanding of roles.

  Andy Frew  2/23/2008

Researcher/Investigator, RI -  A retired teacher as of June 2008, Andy brings flexibility with his curiosity; he will be able to set out on any investigation at any time.

He is eager to document any phenomenon and look for what we do not see, and what can or cannot be explained.

Researcher/Investigator, RI -  Says Jenn... "My interest in researching the paranormal stems from experiences I had growing up, as well as personal experiences I had when I was a tour guide for several years at the Lizzie Borden B&B in Fall River, MA.  I love traveling, reading (especially Steven King) and am hoping to teach myself to play bass guitar."

 

August Rosado  2/23/2008

“We all muddle through life making choices based on incomplete information. The popular concept of the so-called expert is a complete myth. The word expert implies that an individual knows all there is to know about a particular subject or field of study. Knowledge has no horizon; we achieve great heights only to arrive at the summit and gaze out at the even higher peaks awaiting us.”
