Cliff Barackman has been doing field research on sasquatches since 1994. His expeditions have taken him to 46 states and five continents in search of evidence for relict hominoids worldwide. As the evidence analyst on Animal Planet’s hit television show, Finding Bigfoot, Cliff has applied his skill and expertise to a variety of photographic, video, film, and sound evidence. Cliff is especially familiar with the footprint and handprint evidence for sasquatches, and he is the curator for one of the largest collections of cast evidence in the world. Besides bigfooting, Cliff is an accomplished musician and outdoorsman who lives a quiet life on the western slopes of Oregon’s Cascade Mountain range, deep in the heart of bigfoot country.

Tom Yamarone is a singer/songwriter from Livermore, California who has been actively investigating the bigfoot/sasquatch phenomenon for over 17 years. His search for proof of sasquatch involves acquiring audio and photographic evidence and first-hand accounts. He has organized several major conferences in California and Washington. The history of bigfoot research is a passion of his. This has inspired him to compose and perform songs about bigfoot in tribute to these historic figures and accounts in the sasquatch lore. In 2014, Tom made his big screen debut in Bobcat Goldthwait’s bigfoot film “Willow Creek”. He is convinced these creatures exist based on the available evidence and the thousands of eyewitness accounts. Tom has one request of you: “Please include a scale item in your photographs of bigfoot evidence.”

Born in Maine, and raised among the countryside of south central Ohio, Bea Mills is no stranger to the stranger aspects of the outdoors. After working with MUFON as a Field Investigator for some years, she turned back to her roots, accepting the invitation to join the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. Over the past several years, she has lead and participated in numerous investigations throughout Ohio and surrounding areas. She also organizes the Hocking Hills Bigfoot Conference, a charity fundraiser, to support Camp Oty'Okwa's camper scholarship to foster youth in the outdoors.
