Dan Kegley is an investigator with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization and an associate member of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy. To his endeavors he brings a background in various kinds of research. For several springs in the mid-1980s, Kegley worked as an undergrad with Dr. Steven Hopp at Emory & Henry College in ornithological studies of the vocal behavior of white- eyed vireos relative to phases in the nesting cycle. Following graduation he conducted a statistical analysis of the variation in daily volunteer counts at hawk-migration count stations along the Blue Ridge and published that work in The Raven, the journal of the Virginia Society of Ornithology. While a student, he developed outdoor education classes for 4-H campers and public-school students centered on Project Wild, a curriculum sponsored by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. He participated in the Virginia Breeding Bird Atlas and the Audubon Christmas Bird Count. Kegley is a past president of the Archeological Society of Virginia and has particular interest in early North American prehistory when humans were most intimately connected to their natural world on this continent. He had two papers published in the ASV’s Quarterly Bulletin about his work on a prehistoric village site and a historic location slated for demolition. He completed the Holston Rivers Chapter Virginia Master Naturalist Program in the spring of 2013, and is a National Weather Service Certified Storm Spotter. For 23 years Kegley worked at small-town Virginia newspapers in positions including reporter, news editor, editor, photographer/darkroom technician, and general manager until 2012 when he departed journalism for a position in Smyth County (Virginia) Circuit Court. He began in the criminal division, became the records vault supervisor in August 2015 and was a master deputy clerk. He retired in early 2024. Kegley conducts private research into Bigfoot reports through his Holstonia Bigfoot Investigations, whose name he borrowed from his friend and late historian Jim Glanville referencing the Holston River watershed in Virginia and Tennessee.
