Matt Moneymaker: While attending law school in Ohio

While attending law school in Ohio, Matt networked with bigfoot researchers to collect information about where encounters have been occurring in eastern Ohio. That led to a face-to-face encounter with a bigfoot during a stakeout in a swampy wildlife refuge in Portage County in July of 1994. After that encounter, Matt created the first organization for bigfoot field researchers – the Bigfoot Researchers Organization (BFRO). Matt was invited to appear in TV documentaries and roles in unscripted TV series about bigfoot research. The first series was “Mysterious Encounters.” The second was “Finding Bigfoot” on Animal Planet Channel.
