KARL AKESSON (Squatch): Karl minored in Drama from Washington State University where he played a number of different grunting animals on stage. It's only recently that he's had to memorize lines for community theater plays in Port Angeles and Pullman.

ANTOINETTE SWENSSON (Squatch Wrangler; Karaoke Owner): Antoinette is a local musician who plays in the band The Revolving Jugglers. She's had some previous experience with the other Team Awesome members and has been heard to say "yea, they aiight." An accomplished (and now award winning) Squatch Wrangler, she was excited to be part of this project, and looks forward to other opportunities to wrangle some Squatches.

JOE KOENEN (Story, Squatch fill-in): Joe has been acting since he was six years old, when he made his stage debut as the Gingerbread-man at Margaret Mead Elementary. Since then, he has been enslaved by his art. Little good for anything else, he has drifted from one menial day job to the next, all the while spelunking the seedy underbelly of Seattle's entertainment sub-culture. He has performed with Jet City Improv, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and was Gladhand in the worst prodution of West Side Story ever to see the lighted stage. He now dedicates his life to bringing forth into the world the True story of Bigfoot; Why he should be pitied, and why he should be feared.

KORBY SEARS (Music): Korby is a composer, sound designer and audio engineer, working for film, software, video games, and theater. He is also a freelance jazz pianist and upright bassist for several jazz and theater ensembles in the Puget Sound area.

He also provided accordion music for the upcoming X-Box title NHL Rivals 2004, to be released in fall of 2003.
