Robert Lewis Knecht was inducted into the Explorers Club in 1994 as a Fellow National. His first expedition was in 1988 as the medic and photojournalist for the Ocean Research Center of the Arctic Project which was searching for a whaling ship which sank in 1897, 250 miles inside the Arctic Circle. Since then he has made over 900 dives and filmed numerous treasure expeditions, above and below the water, from the Florida Keys to Mexico to Sri Lanka. And when he isn’t filming treasure discoveries, he is treasure hunting.  His most recent documentary adventure was filming a nine month expedition in the Superstition Mountains following a group searching for the legendary Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. As an award-winning cameraman and producer, his work has appeared on PBS, Discovery Channel, TLC, Syfy Channel, ESPN2, Speedvision and several UK networks. He has also appeared on History Channel's top rated Pawn Stars with the Taj Mahal Sunken Treasure.

After 20 years in corporate America, April was ready to trade in her corner office for a full-time consulting career, putting her experience as a top Marketing and Creative talent to work for multi-nationals ready to cash in on lucrative multi-channel marketing opportunities. But her background in adventure travel, a college education in psychology and history, and a passion for working and living abroad, soon led her to swap the board room for a backpack, and the rest is history. Not afraid to get her hands dirty, April is as at home living in a tent for months on end as she is sailing a boat in the tropics or her beloved San Francisco Bay, and approaches treasure hunting with the heart of an historian, and the soul of a story teller. When she’s not in the field, April loves to entertain with stories gleaned from her experience working with pioneer families throughout the West, preserving America’s heritage for a generation far removed from the wagon train and campfire.
