With a professional background in Private Investigation and Loss Prevention, he's spent decades mastering the art of evidence analysis, investigative strategy, and forensic interviewing.
His work in civil, family, and criminal cases laid the groundwork for a unique transition — applying those same disciplined techniques to the field of cryptozoology.
As a dedicated Bigfoot researcher since 1998, Steve brings a no-nonsense, investigative approach to exploring one of the world’s most enduring mysteries. This isn't about chasing myths, rather it's about pursuing truth through evidence, logic, and firsthand fieldwork.
In 2006, Steve Kulls gained national recognition with the launch of Squatchdetective, a website and podcast dedicated to investigating the mysteries surrounding Bigfoot.
Through this platform, Kulls has interviewed a wide range of eyewitnesses, researchers, academics, and field investigators, contributing credible insights and fostering serious research within the field of cryptozoology.
One of Steve Kulls' most significant contributions to the field of Bigfoot research is his unwavering commitment to evidence-based research and healthy skepticism. He champions critical thinking and methodical investigation, working to separate fact from folklore in the search for unknown creatures.
Kulls has taken part in numerous expeditions to recognized Bigfoot hotspots, utilizing advanced technology and investigative techniques to collect and analyze potential evidence. Over the years, his dedication, integrity, and scientific approach have earned him widespread respect within the Bigfoot community.
While Steve Kulls remains open to the possibility of cryptids like Bigfoot, he approaches the subject with a healthy dose of skepticism, consistently applying rigorous standards to research and evidence evaluation.
He is the author of seven books and has been featured on major networks including History, National Geographic, Discovery, and Fox News. He currently serves on the Bigfoot panel of the History Channel’s series The Proof is Out There, further cementing his role as a leading voice in the field.
