ABOUT
I was born in the beautiful state of Michigan. Growing up, I had always been interested in the unexplained, and although I had friends and family who had experienced different forms of high strangeness, I personally had never experienced anything of my own.
In the summer of 1995 though, that all changed when I witnessed something bizarre in the night sky, which I discuss in Episode 6. This encounter was not only unsettling, but also solidified my fascination in the paranormal, and would forever change the way that I interpret our reality.
In the years that followed, I explored haunted locations around the Midwest, but I was always looking for more meaningful ways of investigating the unknown. I even contemplated a career in parapsychology, but I inevitably ended up going in a different direction with my studies.
Then in 2017, I had the idea of starting a podcast. I was familiar with the concept, but I had no idea where to start. Eventually, after piecing together some novice audio equipment, I slowly began recording episodes in my free time, and before I knew it, Mythic Radio was born.
Now, I never expected anything to come of the show. It was just an outlet for me to discuss topics that I found interesting, but after uploading several episodes and receiving positive feedback from listeners, I eventually rebranded the podcast with a more meaningful name. Paranormal Mysteries.
In 2019, I found myself with more free time to focus on the podcast. I began posting more episodes, and listeners began sending me their own experiences with the unknown. The rest, as they say, is history, and three decades after my initial experience, I find myself doing something I could have never imagined possible: sharing paranormal stories with the world.
Over the years, many people have asked me about my own beliefs, and overall, I do consider myself to be a skeptic. With that being said though, I do believe that the world around us is not what it seems, and in many ways is far stranger, and more dangerous than we know. This belief drives me to investigate every facet of the unexplained, and bring my findings, no matter how bizarre, into the public eye.
Have a question for me?
See my Q&A section.
Q: Are the listener experiences that you read actually real?
Yes, they are submitted by real people (usually listeners), through email or my website contact form.
​
Q: Do you compensate people for sharing their experiences?
No. I have never, and will never accept compensation for sharing someone's experience.
​​​
Q: How do you verify whether a listener experience is legitimate?
I don't. Why? Because it is impossible to investigate every report that I receive. However, I do try to gather as much information as possible, in order to provide the listeners with important details. My goal is not to prove or disprove a listeners' story, but rather, give them an outlet where they feel safe to share, and in the process offer the listeners an interesting story that may resonate with them.
​​​​​​
Q: How do you choose which topics or listener experiences to discuss?
When it comes to listener experiences, I do my best to share every story that I receive, and I typically air submissions in the order I receive them. This only changes if a submission is too short, or lacks format and punctuation. As far as other show topics, or deep dive episodes are concerned, I usually pick something that inspires me at that moment. I also try to cover topics that I haven't recently discussed.
​​
Q: Do you use A.I. voice software to narrate the podcast?
No. I never have, and I never will. I vehemently believe that A.I. is over-used, and causes more problems than solutions. It is blurring the lines between what is real, and what is fake, and for this reason, I am completely opposed to it.
​
Q: Why does your voice sound different in older episodes?
When I began podcasting, I was nervous every time I sat down in front of the microphone. Initially, I didn't use proper notes, which is why my speech cadence was much different. But once I started, I became a little more comfortable, and I eventually fell into a rhythm. In the years that followed, my confidence level grew, and that rhythm continued to evolve. This, combined with the fact that I have used multiple different mics, and audio interfaces, is why the show (and my voice) have gone through multiple "stages" since 2017.
​
Q: Why don't you show your face?
The way I see it, the podcast isn't about me. It's about the experiences, and reports that I cover. Truth be told, I prefer to stay in the shadows, and let the paranormal have the spotlight.
