Meet and Greet! - Introduce Yourself here

Hi All,

I just found this topic, so I thought I'd leave a note here. I'm sphionchelovek (a/k/a Darryl -- Les' brother). In case you are wondering, the name is a russian word intentionally misspelled (used as an email address for years to avoid spam, and the spelling stuck with me). Correct russian spelling is shpionchelovek (or something close) pronounced shpee-on-chel-o-vek, and the translation is "spyman". --no, I'm not a spy--

My occupation is recording/audio engineering (I produce CD albums, as well as audio restoration and analysis). I'm married, no kids, and we live in a beautiful river valley in Sonoma County CA. And, like Les, I ride a Honda Interceptor sport bike (which actually was Les' originally). And most of all, I have a really cool sister, as I am sure everyone here knows already.

I've always been interested in the paranormal, especially since Les and I grew up in a haunted house. I've written about our experiences, and hope to someday publish the story.

Going out on an investigation recently was a real blast. I was really impressed with the talent and professionalism of the team, and the interaction with the viewers. It truly is "as real as it gets".

Now I'm becoming a livescifi addict, and I hope to be able to go on more investigations in the future.

That is all. Over and out.

Awwww..... 😎 Thanks, Bro! It was great having you there at the investigation... hopefully you'll be able to come out again soon!

Hi, Preston here. Since I'm involved in the investigations, and it's important to know what motivates us to do these, I'll give you more than just a snippet about my background.

I've known Tim and John (Jay) a few years, we all worked together. They're great guys with great skills and ideas.

My home is in Bend, Oregon and my office is in Burlingame, CA... I know that's screwed up, but hey, we all do what we have to to make a living 😉

I have 7 yr old twins, Dakota (a boy) and Genevieve (a girl), and the love of my life, Chelsea.

My interests are all over the place. I read a ton (thanks to travel), and it tends to be philosophy, history, spirituality, esoteric.

My awesome mom is an Isabelle Allende character (like from her book "The House of Spirits"). She's in her 80's now and still a dynamo. Spirits have always been with us, only we didn't consider it 'supernatural', just 'natural'. Her father was a prominent/famous doctor in Colombia, and her grandfather was the second largest Rubber Baron in South America.

My dad was (he's dead) a tall and lanky (picture Gary Cooper) man, a true Ozarks hillbilly who joined the Army at 16 (he lied about his age). He found himself in Military Intelligence (I know, an oxymoron), which had us living in pretty exotic locales for most of my childhood.

How they met, fell in love, and married is a whole novel in itself.

My early years were in Europe, mostly France, Italy and Spain. My sister was born in Vicenza, Italy. She's a powerful woman, one that you want on your side, not as your enemy!!!

My career has had me traveling since my first day out of college, and has never stopped. I've been to every continent, and practically lived on airplanes.

My interest in the paranormal extends from personal experience, mainly a death experience at the age of 10 that shook me to my core. I sought answers from my priest, and he made it clear they didn't 'recognize' my experience. Sooooo, I left the church (my mom fully supporting me) and started a life-long seeking for answers. I studied/practiced buddhism, hinduism, baptist, pagan, etc.; joined secret societies; delved deeply into Gurdjieff, Yogananda, Enneagram, etc.

At the age of 34, inspired by a partner at Price Waterhouse (I was a Sr. Mgr at the time) who did it, I had decided to become a monk, and was contemplating which band of brothers to join. Of course, that's when God decides to play with your mind. Two weeks after I had made up my mind, Chelsea shows up in my life.

"Paranormal", to me, is just a science we haven't grokked, yet, much like quantum mechanics and its wild 'facts'.

Trained in the sciences, raised with spirituality, makes for a schizophrenic persona... I see both sides, but battle within on what's real or imaginary.

I think I've picked up my dad's Missouri roots... "Show me". I only believe what I personally experience. All else is to be questioned, analyzed.

Okay, I've written an autobiography, so I'll stop here.
Preston

Hey I'm Jackie...By the way Tordik doesn't mean anything - just not imaginative with my handle - all the ones I pick seem to be taken...nobody picks Tordik!

I live in Long Island NY (Jersey girl though, born and raised). I work in the Pharmaceutical industry - switched from managing the chem lab a few years ago to be an administrator for the computer system that controls the samples and data in the lab.....yep a geek!

I have two shih tzus that like to walk on my laptop and submit some interesting posts.

When I'm not working, I shop and enjoy the finer things in life, like hanging out with friends. We are somewhere between young and old but we act like we are 18 playing Rock Band until 5 am.

I am a skeptical believer but find the investigations and shows like GH to be entertaining.

I have only been on for a few weeks but so far I am really enjoying the chat and investigations. The people here are great and I find myself laughing out loud most of the time.

The team seems honest and sincere so I'm looking forward to more investigations (weekends only - the week ones kill me the next morning at work).

ummm...I guess that's it -see you all soon!
