JOE LETO- { Founder of DIEPART }.... Fearless Leader.

Joe realized early on that there was nothing in place anywhere in the

to investigate claims of the paranormal and assist people with their
paranormal claims.

earn his ham radio license at the tender age of 12. He is now the most
senior license holder and has been a  ham radio for over 25 years
involved with local civil defense and sever weather spotting.

After High school Joe went on to study telecommunications at Iowa.
After College He volunteered for the US Navy and spend 6 years on ship
and later on shore and served as a electronics technician during the
Desert storm campaign in the 90's  were he was stationed in Saudi
Arabia for over 8 months.

Joe was honorably discharged from the US Navy, and Came back to live
in Iowa where
he was a foreman at a very large manufacturing factory.

Joe then went on to become the  assistant Chief engineer of a local
television station in the Des Moines, Iowa Area. Later on he moved
over to being a cell phone field Engineer, and  later a tower engineer
working on tall cell phone towers all over the country.

Joe now programs web sites and provides technical
assistance for a web developer in the Des Moines, Iowa Area.

Joe uses all his free time to serve people who need help dealing
with the paranormal, and have no one else to turn to and thats
why we are here plain and simply!

IPART CO-FOUNDER

Shannon Grew up in a haunted house for over 10 years.
She has seen many things paranormal and now has a
skeptics eye toward this phenomenon.
She is now  research with IPART and is trying to show how
this all happens & ways to capture what she saw growing up
so others may experience what she saw as a teenager.
Now she has become the co-manger of IPART and has
been with us now for many years.
She brings a no nonsense yet fun attitude  and is the kind of
person who debunks first and find reasons why..
before claiming something is supernatural.
We are so glad she is with us all in this adventure
we call paranormal investigating and IPART.

IPART MASTER ARCHIVST

Michael Hamilton (or Mykey/Mykee as he is known amongst the group)nserves as the Master Archivist for the Iowa Ghost Hunters Organization. As Master Archivist, Mike is responsible for making sure that all written reports and investigative notes taken from all investigations are legible, accurate and presentable for viewing by internet readers.

Hailing from Las Vegas, NV, Mykey moved to Iowa in 1987, taking up residence in Charles City, IA, and later moving on to Waterloo. In 1991 he finally settled down in Des Moines. Due to some personal issues and a crisis of faith, Mykey joined the Diepart team in 2005, serving first as an invesigator and becoming a Lead Investigator shortly thereafter. After one year of service in this capacity he suffered a nasty back injury that left him nearly incapacitated him, and he was eventually forced to give up his lead investigator role within the group. Fortunately at that time, Diepart was in need of an archivist, so Mykey just kind of slid into that role, where he has remained ever since. Having since been dubbed as "Master Archivist," he is credited with changing the format for the Iowa Ghost Hunters Final Report format from strictly factual reporting into something a bit more entertaining--but still just as factual--to read on the website.

"To me, being an Archivist is to have the very best job in the Organization" says Mike about his role in the group. "The Archivist gets to go where all the action is during an investigation, and in some cases gets to witness things that other investigators--who are usually pinned down and unable to leave a certain room in investigation site--don't get the opportunity to see. He ( the archivist) has to be there to gather all of the particulars about an event which may happen during the course of any investigation."

Having minored in English while attending college at the University of Wisconsin back in the 80's, Mike is a master at taking minor notes gleaned from investigations, combining them with eyewitness testimonies and then turning them into full blown stories. "Another one of the Archivists most important roles," cites Mike, "Is interviewing the party or parties that are experiencing the haunting activities. It's important to get a few minutes to sit down with the people that have become so terrified that they believe that they needed to risk it all and call for help. The clients are really the ones that make the difference between a good final report or a bad one."

During his spare time, Mykey also does personal studies on Witchcraft, Demonology, and the Occult and Mythological Sciences. "I consider myself a Christian," Mike says, "But somehow I just know that someday I'm going to run in to something that's going to require that I be well versed in all this occult stuff. You never know just what you are going to run in to out there," he states, "and it never hurts to have a little bit of education under your belt!"

Over the years, Mike cites his favorite investigations as having been "The Fairbury, Nebraska haunting, The Red Rock Inn investigation in Fairfield, Iowa, and Lemp Mansion in St Louis, Mo."

DIEPART TEAM DES MOINES

As an amateur Scientist, I have always gone against mainstream explanations to everything we do not understand. To find the truth we must open our minds and start looking in different directions. Common sense is our greatest tool. Joining the Iowa Ghost Hunters (IPART), has given me an opportunity to explore the Paranormal from a scientific aspect. I am open minded and skeptical, with abundant knowledge with regards to the Paranormal, UFO's, and Philosophical thinking. I was born and raised in a small central Iowa farm town, spent 4 years in the USAF servicing support systems at one of our National Defense Systems. Welder, Steelworker and HVAC Installer by trade, I am currently in Construction Management. My wife, LeAnn is also a member of IPART and together we have 3 children and 5 grandchildren that we love to spoil.
