M. K. Davis
For the last 29 years M.K. Davis has been researching the subject of the Sasquatch.
M.K.'s quest began quietly with his interest in astro-photography where he gained experience with film and how to photograph the very faint objects in the heavens. One day, all those years ago, M.K. saw two very high quality frames from the famous Patterson Bigfoot film and they were nothing like what was commonly shown on television and the movie theaters.
M.K. began an inquiry into this famous piece of cinema that has taken him around the country until he had obtained the highest quality frames from the film. From there he reprocessed the frames and removed all hand motion to produce the clearest and most stable version of the film to date.
This led to a wider pursuit in search of the answers such as "What is the nature of the Sasquatch?" and "What is the importance of the Sasquatch and how does it relate to each of us?"
M.K. has travelled to and hiked many of the major wilderness areas in his quest for the answers to such questions. From Bluff Creek in Northern California to the Jarbidge Wilderness in Northern Nevada and down to Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks in the Mojave desert, Texas hill country, Louisiana swamps, The Everglades, and most everywhere in between, M.K. has been there.
M.K.Davis has been married to Debbie Davis for 47 years and they have four children and five grandchildren along with their dog Buddy and cat Neffi. M.K. has enjoyed a long career in the Chemical industry and now devotes his spare time to researching the unexplained.

Richard Germeau, Former Law Enforcement Officer
Rich Germeau is involved in law enforcement. He’s an avid outdoorsman, hunter and tracker. Rich had his first encounter with Bigfoot while on patrol near Forks Washington in 2000. A Sasquatch crossed the road in front of his squad car. Rich and Derek met in the winter of 2008. He told Derek about his idea of camera trapping a large area in the Olympic Mountain Range. The Olympic project was born.
Kristi Sanders, Bigfoot Researcher
Kristi discovered her fascination for Bigfoot while watching a MonterQuest episode filmed in the Portland/Southern Washington area, an area an area she frequented on family camping trips as a child.
Realizing she had seen the tree break and bedding areas on these trips she called her husband and asked, "Ever heard of a Sasquatch?" His reply - "Yeah, I had a face-to-face encounter as a boy [in Estacada]" - would set her future course; she was hooked.
Grabbing her kids, she immediately drove with them to the snowy Mount St Helens area in Washington. On a random snow-covered hill, she found a string of prints leading them off the mountain into a marsh.
Volunteering for the BFRO taught her how to use the scientific method (including self-skepticism and debunking) and various equipment to bring professionalism to her efforts. She has brought her skills and experience to Blue Mountain Bigfoot Research, realizing that classification will take a group effort and more than just "hoping somebody else does it."
She very much loves the Pacific Northwest and is a passionate cramper, hunter, and backpacker.
When not looking for Bigfoot, Kristi is an international continuing education instructor for veterinarians, medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and dentists.
