Research Data Director
All my life, I have always heard stories from family, friends and strangers about experiences they have had with the paranormal. I always thought there was probably a logical explanation for what they were seeing or hearing and never really thought twice about it because I had never had an 'experience' that I was aware of. Then a good friend of mine introduced me to ARPAST. Since joining ARPAST, I have become very interested in paranormal research. I like the fact that ARPAST uses a scientific approach to try to have a better understanding of the paranormal. I am really excited to be working with a very professional, dedicated group of individuals and looking forward to enhancing my knowledge about the paranormal through ARPAST.

Treasurer / Secretary
Like everyone else on the team, I have been interested in Paranormal and other phenomena for many years. I have had several unexplained experiences that has left me with a ton of questions. I am greatful to be a part of this wonderful team whom share the same passion of the "unexplained" as I do. This is a love of mine... in fact, it's almost an obsession. I know this will give me the opportunity to scientifically get some of the answers that I am looking for.

Joel Hutsell
Case Historian
I have been interested in the paranormal since I was young due to personal experiences. I would like to see more people differentiate between belief and logic when it comes to paranormal events. I believe this can only happen with real science and hard data. By joining ARPAST, I hope to further research in this often-neglected area of science.

Marie Jones
Director of Special Projects
Working with ARPAST allows me to combine my longtime interest in the paranormal with my background in science and metaphysics to look for the most cutting-edge theories and ideas that will serve as the driving force for future research into anomalous phenomena. ARPAST is dedicated to utilizing scientific methodology in their pursuit of answers, and that makes them unique among the thousands of organizations out there. I am honored to be a part of the ARPAST team.

Aimee Mimms
Membership Director
So many times people say “Did you see that? Did you hear that?” and I must honestly admit, “No”. When people claim to have had an “experience”, I question their quick leap to the paranormal. There has got to be a reasonable explanation for what happened. ARPAST is a good fit for me in that they are not trying to discredit those who have those experiences, rather they attempt to offer scientific evidence to support their claim or provide alternate possibilities.

John Mimms
Technical / Training Manager
I am a professional in the business world and a 1995 graduate of the University of Central Arkansas. I have always been fascinated by unexplained phenomenon. The more I have studied and learned, the more I have come to realize that most paranormal activity has a completely prosaic or scientific explanation.
Through the many millennia of human history, there have always been claims of paranormal activity. The more mankind has advanced over the years, the better scientific understanding man has developed of the natural world. As a result, most things that were once considered supernatural now have been explained within the laws of science. However, that having been said, there are still phenomenon that are beyond our scientific understanding.
My goal, through scientific methodology, is to study and research these phenomenon and hopefully find some answers. I am honored to be working with such a professional group as ARPAST to find those answers.

Robin Sisson
Logistics Director 
I have been fascinated with the paranormal for as long as I can remember, pouring over books and documentaries, trying to learn as much as possible. I am a believer in the paranormal but I also believe that many things are misrepresented as paranormal. That’s why I am excited to be a part of a group that approaches investigations from a scientific point of view.
