Jake Ramgren has a Bachelor's degree in Zoology from Union University. He is a conservationist, a researcher, and a member of the Creation Research Society. In college, he did research on American alligators and ichneumonid wasps. He helped identify undescribed wasp species in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He presented his results at the Association of Southeastern Biologists.
Jake spent two years as a middle and high school teacher. More recently, he has done independent research on the history of science and post-flood diversification models. Jake has spoken at conferences and events across the country. He continues to do work in creation science as a speaker, writer, project coordinator, and researcher. You can find him over at the New Creation blog, where he is a regular contributor, or here, where he is the primary manager the Creation Reformation page.
Jake is passionate about the New England region, and he developed the Creation Reformation Conference, website, and YouTube page with the goal of bringing creation science to the Northeast. He has also self-published a short story, which you can order here.

Leah Giupponi lives out her passion for the Lord by encouraging others to ponder the wonders and glory of His creation. She currently teaches middle school science at Community Christian School in Granville, Massachusetts along with her role at their Student and Family Life Director. She has fostered connections among other scientists in the Greater Springfield and is excited to bring them further together to encourage as well as educate those who want a greater understanding of the modern creationist movement.
Leah has a B.S. in Biochemistry from Bucknell University and worked as a research scientist for Bristol-Myers Squibb for 10 years before her promotion to motherhood and raising her two girls. Her research in early discovery biomolecular screening with the focused targets of growth hormone and later early detection of cardiovascular side effects gave her a first-hand view of the complexity and sophistication of the body’s biochemistry.
Leah has been fascinated by the many confirmations in science which testify to a Creator since she was a young girl. As she studied, worked, and now teaches, her passion has only grown and deepened into a life purpose that all should give the credit and glory to God as scripture extols to “tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power and the wonders he has done.” (Ps. 78:4)
