Meet The Team

Nolan Meadnis - Founder / Lead Investigator nolan@ocparanormalsociety.com Nolan brings investigative experience from his 5 years of service as a Military Police Officer with the U.S. Army, where he proudly served a year tour in Baghdad, Iraq. He has been interested in investigating the paranormal for years, but it wasn't until 2008 he decided to professionally act upon it. Although the founder and lead investigator of OCPS, he is perhaps the biggest skeptic. His main mission on investigations is to disprove the presence of paranormal activity. He believes his unbiased beliefs will result in more efficient, accurate investigations. Nolan is currently working toward his B.A. in Criminal Justice Administration with a minor in History. Chris Shimaoka - Lead Investigator chris@ocparanormalsociety.com Chris is the group's most experienced investigator, with over 12 years of paranormal investigating and research. He has a background in computer drafting and specializes in analyzing electro magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations. Over the course of his investigative career, Chris has encountered many personal experiences with unexplained phenomena. His technical experience with the equipment we use is a great asset to the group. Juli Meadnis - Investigator juli@ocparanormalsociety.com Juli recently handed her case managing duties over to Tina so she can concentrate on being a mom of 2 boys and investigate. She hopes to one day validate previous personal experiences which she believes to have encountered when she was younger. Juli is a teacher for special education at a local school district and is the wife of OCPS founder Nolan Meadnis. Brigid Anderson - Investigator brigid@ocparanormalsociety.com Having personal experiences throughout her life is what fuels Brigid's interest in the paranormal. Delving into anything that had to do with the paranormal only left more questions and eventually led her to investigating. Although she feels she is sensitive to energies and presences, Brigid is more interested in the paranormal from a scientific standpoint. She hopes to continue learning, look for answers to validate her own experiences, and help others dealing with paranormal activity. Brigid works as a optician and is a freelance photographer on the side. Tina Lagache - Case Manager tina@ocparanormalsociety.com Tina has always been interested in the paranormal and as a hobby has researched and visited many reportedly haunted locations. After recently serving 4 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, 2 of which were in Iraq, she has decided to turn her hobby into something that can help explain or teach people about what happens to us after life on Earth. Tina hopes to learn as much as she can from all the members of OCPS. Eric Perez - Research & Development eric@ocparanormalsociety.com Eric's interest in the paranormal began after a personal experience with a belated family member that left him with many unanswered questions. The interest evolved into reading books and watching professional paranormal investigators to learn more on the subject matter. In 2009, Eric decided to take his interest one step further and purchased basic equipment to begin investigating paranormal activity. With a few investigations behind him, Eric joined OCPS to research sites and is also looking forward to developing his skills as a paranormal investigator. Sean Milligan - Cameraman sean@ocparanormalsociety.com Sean is primarily the cameraman for OCPS, but is included in investigation work as well.  He has years of paranormal investigating under his belt and a steady hand for shooting video. He has explored many haunted places that O.C. has to offer and is excited to venture out to other areas. Richard DeLaCoudray - Investigator dray@ocparanormalsociety.com Richard, fondly known to most of his friends as "Dray", just entered his 17th year in the military. During his active duty days with the Marine Corps, he worked as a Radar Tech and is now active with the Army Reserve as an MP (Military Police). Dray has a wide variety of experience stemming from computer knowledge to investigations, which will allow him to be utilized however needed. Dray has served two tours in Iraq and is currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Even though Dray has had few experiences with the paranormal, he is committed to finding the answers for those that experience this phenomenon. Adele Pulice - Investigator / Marketing adele@ocparanormalsociety.com When she was 4-years-old, Adele had her first, and only personal experience which has created her life-long interest in the paranormal. A firm believer in "there is a reason behind everything", she hopes one day to be proven wrong. Adele has a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism/Public Relations, currently works in Marketing, and writes in her spare time. Since OCPS is a non-profit corporation, Adele's experience in marketing is valuable to raising money for the group's operations costs. Michael Drouin - Tech Manager / Photographer michael@ocparanormalsociety.com Michael joins the team with many years of experience and knowledge of the technological world. Having a dad who worked in the computer field, he has been around the latest technology since he was a kid. Not much has changed since then as he now works in the IT field himself. Whether it is diagnosing computer and equipment issues, setting up equipment, or anything else related... there isn't much he doesn't know about. In his free time, he is an avid urban explorer and photographer, which makes getting information on obscure locations much easier. Josh Davis - Correspondent josh@ocparanormalsociety.com A licensed appraiser by day, Josh knows the in's and out's of a home's anatomy. If a malfunctioning vent or poor insulation is causing hot or cold spots, he'll know about it. He has the valuable ability to research property records, which is a key asset to doing our site history. Josh serves as our Denver Correspondent, researching possible future investigation locations in the Denver area. He is originally from Orange County and returns a few times a year to visit family & friends and attend investigations.
