Dwight Simes: Lead Investigator, Historian, Case Manager, and Team Manager/Co-Founder
I have been interested in the paranormal since a child; having grown up with several relatives and a grandmother that had psychic abilities. My wife Linda and I became very involved with NEPA (North East Paranormal Associates) since its inception in 2009.
I earned my degree at the University of Arizona, where I majored in history, environmental science, and geography. I also studied the martial arts and earned a Nidan in Goju-Ryu Karate Do and competed in the Northeast. I was also a wedding photographer for many years.
I am a Metal Finishing & Environmental Manager with over 30 years of management experience. I am also an OSHA Outreach Trainer. My approach to the paranormal field has been influenced by my family connections & experiences. I have eclectic interests in science, history, UFO's, hiking, archeology, old cars, photography, paranormal, and traveling. Much of my philosophy stems from my training and studies in the martial arts.

I spent the first 29 years of my life traveling around the world with my parents. My father was a career man in the US Army, which brought us to a new location almost every year; from Montana to Turkey and all over Europe. I graduated from high school in Brunssum, Holland. I spent most of my years in Europe before finally settling in New Hampshire, where I met my husband.
I worked at several computer companies after coming to New Hampshire before they left the area. We have since traveled and lived up & down the East Coast, but we have always returned to New Hampshire.
I have been intrigued by the paranormal for many years prior to joining NEPA in 2009. My passions have always been traveling, UFOs, paranormal studies, reading and my love for animals.
