Super Dave a.k.a. Sasquatch
​
Sasquatch- In Your Face” (the name of his book coming soon
​
Dave Rogers, known as SuperDave aka Sasquatch, is a Bigfoot researcher, investigator, and self-described “Knower” who pursues firsthand truth beyond boundaries others are unwilling to go.
A trailblazer by nature, he is driven by real-life encounters and field experience that have convinced him Sasquatches, cryptids, and other entities are real , and that realities exist far beyond what we consider the natural world.
SuperDave goes where most people won’t, exploring difficult terrain, uncomfortable questions, and overlooked evidence to gain understanding and bring that knowledge back to others willing to listen. His investigations are rooted in firsthand experience, not speculation, and shaped by a lens that embraces both the seen and unseen.
You can find SuperDave on: YouTube SuperDave aka Sasquatch​
