Meet the S.C.A.R.E.D. Team
Colby Markum: Founder / Lead-Investigator
Age: 32 Years Old
Occupation: Sheriff's Deputy
Hobbies: Hunting, riding four-wheelers, and watching sports.
I have always enjoyed sports...(GO BRAVES!) I love kicking back in the recliner watching a good football game or just sitting at my sons baseball and football games. We have been known to play a little flag football of our own as a matter of fact! I also enjoy duck hunting in the middle of winter with ice hanging off the boat. You just can't beat the sound of whistling wings coming through the flooded timber, or just standing in the water, freezing your ass off. One of the things that my wife and I enjoy the most is just sitting around the fire pit at night with friends and family, drinking coors light, and telling stories. And if you couldn't already tell, I enjoy the thrills of ghost hunting as well.
Jason Burns: Co-Founder / Lead-Investigator
Age: 33 Years Old
Occupation: Partner in a Tree Service
Hobbies: Hunting, Sports, Barbecuing with family and friends
I love spending time with my family and friends. There's nothing I love more than relaxing by the pool in the company of friends and family, barbecuing, and sipping on a cold beer. I have always been intrigued by the paranormal and I'm the type of person that has to see it to believe it. S.C.A.R.E.D. has given me that ability, and with each passing investigation I crave for more and more.
Carey Markum: Reporter / Investigator
Age: 33 Years Old
Occupation: Receptionist for OB/GYN Clinic
Hobbies: Watching football, riding four-wheelers, and spending time with my son.
I am very blessed to have a wonderful family. I have a great husband who has been through a lot with me and a 13 year old son that is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me in my life. We are very family oriented and enjoy spending time together playing sports, riding four-wheelers, and watching movies. Me and my husband are so lucky to have so many things in common and enjoy doing the same things. I enjoy all the time I have with my family and try to not take any of it for granted. The reason I feel so strongly is because five years ago I was diagnosed with a very aggressive breast cancer, since then I believe we should cherish each day and enjoy it like it was our last.
Crystal Burns: Tech / Investigator
Age: 31 Years Old
Occupation: House Wife/Mother
Hobbies: Watching movies, hanging with friends and family, and paranormal research
I am very thankful to be sharing my life with my wonderful husband Jason and three wonderful boys. I absolutely love spending time with them, watching them play sports, watching movies with them, and just hearing their laughter. I enjoy being around friends and family. It took thirty-one years to create who I am today. Within these years, I have been given the freedom and opportunity to explore the world in order to satisfy my curiosity toward all the strange and wonderful things in the world around me.
Bret Ward: Webmaster / Investigator
Age: 26 Years Old
Occupation: Sheriff's Deputy
Hobbies: Building computers, playing online games, and playing with my kids.
I am married to a wonderful woman and have two beautiful children. My daughter is 5 and my son is 3. When I'm not at work solving the problems of others, I'm at home enjoying the simple things in life. I love spending time with my kids and family outside running through the sprinklers or swimming in the pool. If its too hot outside I'm usually playing the monster and chasing my kids around the house. When they run me out of all energy, I find myself planted in front of the computer playing Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare and Left 4 Dead 2. I've always been an avid online gamer and love nothing more than fighting in "player vs player" combat. If you fancy yourself for a game, let me know and I'll see you online!
