Our team members and any potential member must pass a criminal background check, drug screen, and complete an extensive training program before they can be a part of OMPI.

Here we are! As you can see for the most part we are quite literally a family.  Dave and I have had several personal paranormal experiences growing up; it was trying to find the logical explanation to these experiences that lead us into the haunting field of paranormal research.




Adam Bringhurst...Investigator in Training

My career is in the H.V.A.C. field. I enjoy hunting, fishing, and anything to do with the outdoors.
I guess it's fair to say that I am obsessed with the paranormal. This obsession has been fueled through the years by numerous unexplained personal experiences.
I joined O.M.P.I. because there is nothing more exciting to me than discovering solid, concrete evidence of paranormal activity. 
It is very easy to jump to conclusions when there are signs of a possible haunting, I like to keep a very critical mindset when approaching this subject, because I strive for the truth.

Leisa Pardue, A.K.A. "Karma"...Investigator

My occupation is in veterinary medicine, public relations, and customer service, and has been for over 25 years.

    For as long as I can remember, I have experienced things that I cannot explain. This has left me with an insatiable drive to find answers, but with every answer I've found, I've been left with many more questions.
   
    It is not my belief that every unexplained event is the result of paranormal activity. In fact, it is my firm belief that you should never come to a paranormal conclusion before exploring each and every possibility.

Mike Pardue...Lead Investigator

I have spent the last 30 years studying the paranormal as it pertains to hauntings, after experiencing a significant paranormal event when I was young.  It was trying to find an explanation for this event that led me to research and investigate ghosts and hauntings.

I joined a couple of investigative groups but I wasn’t finding the answers I wanted, so I decided to form my own group, I turned to my brother who had similar experiences as mine to join me in searching for evidence that may one day lead us to the truth about hauntings.  So Oquirrh Mountain Paranormal Investigators was born, and since that time we have certainly came across some unexplainable activity, but not the one piece of irrefutable evidence that I have been searching for.  We are not interested in competing with other groups in fact we look to share ideas and information.   We simply want answers and to use the knowledge we have obtained over the years to help others who need answers. 

Dave Pardue...Tech Specialist / Lead Investigator

I am a computer technician by trade with 15 years’ experience. 27 years semiconductor processing field.  I am critical of the paranormal but have had some unexplained experiences. (they remain just unexplained) Everyone I know has had at least one paranormal experience of some kind. So what is it really that we are seeing, or hearing or whatever.  My brother Mike founded the group and asked me to join which I jumped at the chance. I wanted to do investigations myself to ensure that no hoaxing was taking place and to gather my own evidence because in paranormal research, as in science, evidence is everything.

Jenn Pardue...Lead Investigator / Case Research
Jon Pardue...Historian / Investigator

I got into this field for a few reasons.  I've had a couple of different experiences with paranormal activity and that has piqued my interest as to trying to solve unanswered questions.  Another reason is even though the Paranormal field is nothing new and can date back to ancient times with theories of magic, Theology, and even Demonology, the investigation aspect has just begun to be pioneered with the new technologies and theories. With hopes of using even more advanced equipment, we can prove some of these new theories and ones that have been around for centuries.
  Some of the skills I contribute to our team is I love history, and many others seem to find the subject boring.  So researching old buildings, ancient texts and other theories throughout history has fallen unto my lot!  I also happen to be steadfast in my beliefs and don't get shaken too easily so I can research some of the darker aspects of the paranormal field and investigate claims of demonic or poltergeist type of haunting's.


Melanie Pardue...Investigator

I have had a few unexplained experiences with the paranormal, so naturally I watched ghost hunters and shows of that kind to see what skills I could learn through watching them. But sitting and watching never seemed like enough, I always found myself screaming at the TV because most the questions they ask are not necessary or just plain silly. I have also always wanted to find my own concrete evidence to ensure it’s not a hoax or has been tampered with. Mike Pardue is my uncle, he asked me and my father David Pardue to join and I am so excited to be part of the team.
Chris Luna...Equipment Manager / Investigator

At a very young age I had an experience that opened my eyes to paranormal activity, And ever since then I have had an interest in the field, I have had training in the electrical field giving me knowledge of how electricity effects our surroundings and also have had training in law enforcement psychology, all of which gives me insight into investigating paranormal activity, For myself I can say there are forces out there that I search for answers to...... (Sleep tight).
Teina Pardue...Case Manager

I have been married to David Pardue for 25 years, and we have four wonderful children. We enjoy traveling and visiting historical sites. I have worked in the semiconductor industry for 28 years, and enjoy doing research and meeting new people. I have a Bachelor’s in Information Technology, and will be completing my MBA in 2010. I cannot say that I have personally experienced paranormal activity however; I have heard some experiences of the Pardue family members that I find intriguing. Therefore, I figured this would be a great family experience and a way for me to contribute to the study of this field.
