Husband and father of 2 girls,my interest are movies,fishing,camping,watching football on sundays,working with computers and spending time with my family. I had my first paranormal experience at the age of 12 . I was honored when PI-NE director Jeff welcomed me to join his team which has become a second family to me. I'am ready to help others who believe that they have paranormal activity and educating them in the field of paranormal. I feel strong in all areas of paranormal investigating wither it be a home,business and even the outdoors.

Training Coordinator
I have been a resident in Chittenden County area here in Vermont going on 17 years and loving every minute. I was born in and lived in the Western Mass. area for most of my childhood except for four years where I lived in Texas. I was always taking my summer vacations here at my grand parents home and decided to finally move here. I like hiking, bicycling, motorcycle riding, and also I am a RPM (club music) DJ, and I also enjoy writing.
My interests in the paranormal began as an early in my childhood were I lived in homes that did have activity. After had many experiences over the years and doing a lot of research I began investigating at first by myself and then with three people I trusted. I would be contacted by people who knew me and most of the people I have helped over the years have been referred to me by word of mouth. I would say that residential investigations are were I thrive as those are the cases I became involved with early on.

I am 31 and married for four years to a wonderful man. I have lived in Vermont all my life but two years in New York. My experiences with the paranormal began at a very young age. Always sensing that there were other people around that I could not see. As a teenager, I was interested in the paranormal but hesitant to really look into it. In 1997 I was a junior in high school and went with our youth group on a mission trip to Guatemala, it was there in the mountains where I had what I would call my most mind boggling paranormal experience. I have been a very spiritual person all my life, it has been my source of comfort and confusion. I enjoy helping others when I can weather it be helping to solve some issue or just offering a friendly ear.
This is the first paranormal group that i have been involved with. I am greatly looking forward to learning as much as i can from them. I have been eagerly reading and studying the paranormal for six months and looking forward to applying my newly acquired knowledge to help anyone who believes they have paranormal disturbance's, or just anyone who has questions.
In our modern world we are still faced with ancient questions of the unknown, it is my passion to find the answers. We may never have answers for our personal questions, but if we keep looking it is our hope that some day we will.
Jessica PloofInvestigator in Training
I am a wife and a full time billing specialist for a small practice in Burlington. I have 4 wonderful dogs that keep me out of trouble, two loving cats and a guinea pig. When I am not taking care of the husband and all the animals I love to cook, read and do anything outdoors.
I have always had an interest in the paranormal, the mystery behind the unexplained and the history that may help explain events that may be occurring. I want to help people understand what they are experiencing whether it be paranormal or not.
Karen Keene
Investigator in Training
I am 40 years old and have been married for almost 12 years. I am a Mom to two very active boys and have lived in Vermont all of my life. I love to garden, travel, run,snowboard and hang out with my family. I was always the kind of child who loved stories about ghosts, bigfoot and pretty much anything supernatural. That curiosity has never really gone away. I have been a property tax assessor for over 17 years and love old homes and the stories that go along with them. I was always drawn to any story a home owner wanted to share about unusual experiences in their home. In recent years I have volunteered with the Make A Wish foundation as a wish granter and have become a hospice volunteer.
In 2006 my youngest son had an unexplained experience in a small rural cemetery involving another child only he could see. That re- ignited my curiosity and have since been on three events with The Ghost Hunters from TAPS. After that I knew I wanted to be a paranormal investigator. I am excited to be a part of PI-NE II.
I love to help others and hope to put some of my knowledge and experiences to work and help find answers to your paranormal experience.
