The people behind the search

Serious about the work. Happy to be out there.

This team genuinely enjoys the adventure of turning a “gone forever” moment into a “you’ve got to be kidding me!” return. Derik and Crystal bring recovery experience, specialized equipment, certified-diver training, land-record research, first-aid and safety awareness, and practical outdoor and survival skills to every search.

Raised on a cattle ranch and an avid outdoorsman, Derik is usually tracking down a lost item, researching a historical place, traveling the world on two wheels, fishing, hunting, or operating his real-estate investment company. Husband, father and friend come first—although a promising lead can occasionally make him disappear a few days.

Crystal serves as Professional Adventure Enabler and Field Support. A natural adventurer with a curious mind and a weakness for a good mystery, Crys assists in the field, helps chase down leads, scouts locations and is generally willing to see where the next rabbit hole goes.

Every project receives a professional, methodical approach. We are insured, respectful of every property and committed to safety, discretion and responsible recovery. We enjoy the search, the history and—most of all—returning something that matters.
