AARF Administrationt
Robert W. Morgan: President - Executive Director
Initially, millions of people around the world became familiar with Robert through the 1974 docudrama movie "The Search For Bigfoot" AKA "Bigfoot: Man Or Beast" That appeared in theaters and eventually televisions all around the world. It is still considered the benchmark by which all others in it's genre are judged, even after 30 some years. He generated many more fans when he appeared on the record breaking David Wolper TV docu mentary "Monsters: Myth or Mystery" for the prestigeous Smithsonian Institute series, and later on the Montel Williams show. His frequent appearances on Art Bell's Coast To Coast Am, Rob MCconnel's X Zone Radio show, and the Larry King and Tom Snyder shows, have certainly caught the attention of sympathetic and like-minded seekers! In 2007 Robert began hosting " The AARF Show" on Blogtalk radio and he has a new book "The Soul Snatchers" being published in April 2008

Robert Purser: Treasurer - Louisiana Field Rep
Steven Jones: Ohio Field Director
SSteve's fascination for BigFoot started when his 7th grade Science teacher took the class on a field to see Robert W. Morgan's movie, "In Search of Bigfoot". That's all it took. From then on, he was a SEEKER.
Steve started a radio outdoors show in northeast Ohio in 1990. In December 1991, a local book publisher contacted Steve to see if he would be interested in having a Bigfoot researcher on his show. In all the excitement, he forgot to ask the future guest's name. You can not imagine the look on Steve's face when Robert W. Morgan walked into his studio. The rest is history. On August 30, 1992, Steve has his first, face to face encounter, with a Forest Giant in a research area in southern Ohio. Under Robert's guidance, Steve has had numerous encounters in some form. All were the experience of a lifetime.
Steve's radio and TV experience dates back to 1980. He was the morning show host and program director for a Country music station in Kent, Ohio. Steve hosted the "Hunting and Fishing Show" on radio from 1990 to 1993. He then took the show to TV from 1993 to 1999. As you can see from his picture, he definitely has a face for radio. Steve has experience in copy writing, commercial production and voice over work. Steve has conducted many seminars in regards to fishing, hunting and of course, Bigfoot.
William Lee: West Texas Field Rep
I grew up in a radio family, and have been in the business 30 years. I have my own voice-over business, and my website is www.billlee.net. I'm eager to use my communications skills to help people understand the "Bigfoot" phenomenon, and turn the tide from unbelievable, to believable. We've come a long way, but still have a lot of work to do.
Richard Van Dyke: East Texas Field Rep
Richard Was born in Massachusetts and reared in Texas and Louisiana, joining the Marine Corps directly after high school.
He is a foreman for a Louisiana based construction company. He had his first encounter with a Forest Giant in October 2002 and has since come to believe that we should look at our surroundings in a different light. After numerous encounters, Richard believes that we need to realize that we are dealing with an international phenomenon, not just one something that was accidentally caught on film by a couple of guys in an old river bed.
As Director of the Texas State Field Office for A.A.R.F and a member of the Oklahoma Academy of Science, Richard presently resides in the Beaumont area and enjoys research in almost any heavily wooded area during his time off and between construction jobs.

Christopher Kimball: Florida Field Rep (Everglades)
Scott Kleinhans: East Ohio Field Rep
Scott first gained a serious interest in UFOs in the late 1980s after watching a documentary on the subject. Scott has always been interested in science fiction movies and TV shows but, eventually, he realized that truth is, not only, stranger than fiction but also more interesting (For example, Scott only reads non-fiction books).
After attending some local UFO groups, Scott was bored with just discussing the subject with enthusiasts and wanted to actively engage in UFO research and investigations. In 1996 Scott formed S.I.R.I.U.S. (Serious Investigative Research Into UfO Subjects) to actively investigate sightings, and hold monthly meetings open to the general public. These meetings featured guest lecturers.
Robert W. Morgan happened to attend the first S.I.R.I.U.S. lecture, afterward inviting Scott to join A.A.R.F. Since then, S.I.R.I.U.S. was an A.A.R.F. project. Scott's endevours also spun-off into non-UFO related subjects such as the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations which drew lecturers from around the country and local media attention. Scott has made several local radio and television appearances.
Later, Scott went on to earn a B.A. from Kent State University in Political Science and History graduating in 2003. Currently Scott is interested in entering the field of education and will be working on a teaching certificate.

Robert Hipp: Tech Consultant - WV Field Rep
My own adventure down this road began when I was very young at my local theater where I saw "The Search For Bigfoot" starring the Bigfoot researcher Robert W. Morgan. My father who also had an interest in the paranormal, often left paperback books and magazines lying around that I picked up and read savoring every word, igniting an undying interest that is even stronger with age. The local Bigfoot sightings reported on the TV news and paper throughout the 70's and 80's only fueled my desire to learn everything that I could possibly learn about the subject , secretly conducting my own observations and research, and seeking out those who were also researching , so I could learn from them as well, and be around people with the same heart and mind. I Followed his career and the AARF as a fan until I met Chris K. in a Bigfoot chat room and could feel how I fit in and could hopefully help the group as a member. It was and is the thrill of a lifetime and an honor to learn from, be a part of, work with , and be a friend of, the man I saw in that movie so many years ago, and all of the members of this fine organization...Robert W.
