Meet the Team

Richard E. - Team Leader, Co-Founder
Richard gained an interest in paranormal research in 1995 in the U.K. after attending an overnight investigation at the infamous St. Botolph's ("Skidbrooke") church, in the marshes near Saltfleet. He witnessed an impressive array of phenomena that are difficult to explain to this day. Richard spent the next five years poking around the haunted hamlets of Great Britain as a member of Andrew Wright's Leicester-based team. He co-founded BCPRS with his wife, Laura, after relocating to the United States. He brings over fifteen years of investigative experience to the team.

Richard earns a living in the I.T. community, working as a network engineer in the field of disaster recovery and backup services. He also works as a street paramedic for a local ambulance company, an EMS instructor at a community college, volunteers as a firefighter, and serves on the county Haz-Mat team.

In his spare time, Richard enjoys gaming (desktop, boardgaming, or video), reading, astronomy, and being manipulated by five shrewd cats and two dogs.

Joey maintains his own collection of various instruments which measure EMF, real-time EVP, radiation, RF, and temperature along with full-spectrum video and helper devices. He enjoys providing a measure of relief to clients by finding plausible explanations to suspected paranormal events. He also likes to tinker and experiment with the latest in ghost hunting gear.

Kira W. - Investigator
Kira has always been interested in the paranormal. Her curiosity intensified after her parents became ghost tour guides and began sending her stories and photos from supposedly haunted sites in St. Augustine, Florida. Her first paranormal experience occurred at the Tolomato Cemetery there, and she's willing to brave anything except spiders for the chance at another.

When she's not ghost-hunting, Kira is the Operations Manager for Boulder Digital Arts, doing the 5,456,378 things it takes to run the organization on a daily basis. She spends her spare time playing tabletop role-playing games and working feverishly on her webcomic, Castle Whatsitsname, which should be released sometime in 2011. Kira has an art degree from Carleton College, which might explain a lot of things.
 
Seth W. - Investigator
Seth began his interest in paranormal research while studying Theatre at the University of Rhode Island. He could never explain the shadows moving backstage or the footsteps in Prop Storage, but did not have the means or know how to properly investigate the occurrences at the time.

Now working as a massage therapist in Boulder, Seth is thrilled to bring an open yet scientific mindset to paranormal investigations. In his spare time, Seth enjoys bicycling, cooking for friends, table-top story-telling games, and volunteering at the local Humane Society.

Lucilla G. - Investigator

She became interested in the paranormal after her mother died in 1994. Lucilla's daughter had some unusual experiences in the home where her Grandmother died.

Her passion is to help others, whether that be in her regular career or during paranormal investigations.
 
Jenna R. - Investigator
Jenna has a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University. In 2003, she became certified as a clinical, counseling Hypnotherapist and immediately opened a private practice in Boulder under the supervision of Dr. Betty Cannon.

Jenna has been interested in understanding the paranormal since she was a child. Her work as a Case Manager at the Mental Health Center and her volunteer work at Hospice intensified her desire to learn more about the difference between the experiences of those who are grieving or have had NDE’s, symptoms of mentall illness, spiritual emergence and emergencies, and the claims of people who are certain that they have had experiences that they feel are best described as paranormal.
 
Gene S. - Investigator
Gene developed an interest in the paranormal following an incident on the trails in Moab, UT. Subsequent amateur investigations ‘haunting’ local cemeteries and reported paranormal locations led to another experience that he is still at odds to explain today.

A born investigator at heart and a reporter by trade, Gene has a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Journalism/Media Studies from Rutgers University, a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems and is a recent graduate of the Private Investigator Academy of the Rockies.

Gene approaches paranormal research with equal parts skepticism and curiosity, his formula for an interesting foray into the unknown.

Off the clock, Gene spends his time in a variety of pursuits, mostly involving whirring gears, electro-mechanical oddities, wind powered craft and unusual vehicles.
