Dave Bender - Founder and Team Leader

Dave was born in Long Island, New York.  At age 8, his family returned to their roots in Montana and the Rocky Boy Indian Tribe.  Under his uncle Dan (a Chippewa-Cree), he was mentored as a medicine man.  He grew up learning his tribe's stories of spirits and how to help others.  After relocating to California he carried on his family's tradition of healing by founding his first paranormal team, API.

Dave enjoys working in the film industry in his spare time.  He writes screenplays and studies gemstones.  He works with children during the day as a Service Coordinator.

He met his wife, Ann, in 2003 and they both enjoy a beautiful daughter.  Dave can not offer his Native American blessing unless asked.  He cannot charge for this service, but can accept supplies as a sign of appreciation.

Ann Bender - Co-Founder, Psychic Medium, and Website Administrator

Ann was raised in Michigan on her family's farm.  Her first memories are not of horses and flowers, but of the spirits and past events in the family home.  Unfortunately, it terrified her parents when she spoke of people, events, and places she had never seen.

She spent her early adulthood using her abilities while working as a paramedic and radiology technologist.  When living in Washington, her nearby neighbor was a serial killer.  Every time he killed, she dreamed through his victims eyes of his victim's last moments.  This drove her to better understand how she could help others and not just sit as a bystander.

In 2003 she moved to California and met her husband, Dave Bender.  She became a dowser while working with Dave.  For families with delicate questions, the dowsing rods can answer without a word being spoken
