New year, and new update

Hello all who have come to read this. Its been a long time since Ive been back to any kind of work, GMPS or other. So let me update you all from October 2014 to now. In October after some personal problems I decided to end my show called Haunted Whispers. It was just more then I could do at the time with all that was going on. And while I only did one show every other week, the time to prep and find guests was just more then I could handle at the time. Yes I am thinking about doing it again at some point but that has not fully been thought out yet. I did like doing the show and I was getting good responses to it so who knows. I also was and still am under the impression that there are just way to many shows that talk about ghosts and the paranormal out there and I was also tired of looking for listeners. Frankly there are many out there who really do feel that doing a show is there clear cut way to make them some kind of celebrity. I will not point a finger at some who really take the online show way to serious. Going as far as getting management and booking them self's at ghost conferences. So while I will not point any fingers I will stick one up just for them. I'm not saying that they are not good at what they do and all, but come on...who is paying money to see you like your a TV or Movie star??

I also until today shut down my team the GMPS. I have a few reasons for that, one I was at a point in my life that my depression took hold of me and really just no longer game a shit about it. I was having problems getting people on my team to come out to investigations and even more so helping to evidence review. So I said well fuck it then. Sadly this has effected one of our clients. It took forever to get the reviews done and then when it was ready I simply did not feel like going back to share what we found, or lack of. If it were not for some of the people in my team and Trisha I was really about to shut down the GMPS team all together.



While the end of 2014 was truly one of the worst three months that I have ever lived in my life there was one saving grace, and a reason to not eat a bullet. I asked Trisha Lester to be my wife and she said yes. And on 12/13/14 we got married at the Essex and Middle River Heritage Society's Museum. It was a small event with some family and close friends. We even made it on the the local news paper for it because not only is that location a place that me and my team have investigated in the past and have hosted public ghost hunts there but we are the first people to have ever gotten married there. I cant ever begin to share how grateful we are for them allowing us this chance to make history there.

In November I got the chance to also film a small part on a show called "The RIP Files" there at the museum. While the show is not shown on local channels, it can be found online and maybe in the future it will also air here. It was fun, and I enjoyed my time with the crew. When it does become available to been seen I will be sure to post where and when on here and on my Facebook pages.



After a wonderful honeymoon in Wilmington NC and getting past the holidays I had a major health issue happen to me and as such I have been in and out of the hospital and doctors visits and all the time out of work as well. As of today I am back to looking for work as I was not able to keep the job I have had for the past few years. But I am getting better and the issues that I have had seems to be on the mend. I am not fully sure that I will not need an operation at this point but I hope not. Time will tell.



Now that we are taking on new requests and all, we are in need of a few new people. So if are local to the Baltimore area and want to become a paranormal investigator, please refer to the how to join section of the teams webpage.

The book??? Yes the book. I also stopped writing it, as ive done many times in the past. But this summer will be when it will see the light of date. Keep checking back for a release date and where to get it.

I hope this did not run on too long and your up to date on all things me and the team.

More to come,
