Research Biologist Ranae Holland was born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She was first introduced to the Bigfoot craze in the 1970’s by her father. In 2011, after years of work as a field biologist, Ranae became a co-host of the Animal Planet show “Finding Bigfoot”.

For over a decade, Ranae has conducted fisheries research throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. She received her degree from the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington, where she was selected for the distinguished Alaska Salmon Program.

Cliff Barackman has been doing bigfoot field research since 1994. His expeditions have taken him to 46 states and five continents in search of evidence supporting the existence of undiscovered 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. He has appeared on many other television shows and documentaries as a bigfoot specialist and cryptozoologist.

Cliff and his wife, Melissa own and curate the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, Oregon which features the largest public collection of bigfoot evidence in the Pacific Northwest.

Adam, an accomplished Animal Tracker since childhood, combines this with his skills in courtroom cross examination, a job he performed for 7 years representing the British Governments Home Office. Adam would love to hunt for unknown creatures round the clock, but for now he can only devote his spare time and money to this passion, just dreaming of what he could really achieve if he had the opportunity to devote all his energy towards the cryptid universe.

Raised in Miami, Fl in the 1960’s and 70’s, David Bakara was very familiar with the southern Bigfoot, the skunk ape, at a very early age. He listened to sighting stories from law enforcement, unfold on the local news stations, and newspapers regularly. He became an investigator with the Florida chapter of the BFRO in 2010. Now living in the N Georgia mountains, and since 2016, he operates Expedition Bigfoot, The Sasquatch Museum. His business location has become a magnet for witnesses, and the museum has amassed hundreds of sighting reports that would normally take decades. He will share some of the most unusual witness reports taken, and offer some insights that may shed light on this ever changing world of Bigfoot research.
