About Dustin
Dustin has been involved with the paranormal for over 15 years. He began his journey through the paranormal with his experience in ministry. Dustin earned his BA in Theology from Belmont Abbey College and was then licensed as a minister. Through his pastoral ministry Dustin began to study demonology and exorcism, studies and practices that he continues to this day. Dustin has since gone on to earn his Masters in Education (Secondary Education- History) from Grand Canyon University. He has a passion for helping make the paranormal come to life for those around him. This led him to start Great State Paranormal so that he could help his community with paranormal encounters and help preserve local legends and folklore. Dustin has also had the privilege of speaking and teaching on various topics within the paranormal community, typically focused on spiritual protection and respect for the spirits. When he is not working on the next Great State Paranormal event, he enjoys expanding his mind with various topics in the paranormal and occult as well as spending time with his fiancé and pets.
