In 1990, Troy Dunn helped his mother (who was adopted as a baby) locate her own biological family. That single event caused him and his then-partner to build an organization that did one thing - help people reunite with long lost friends and family members. Over the past 24 years, Troy and his team have assisted thousands of people worldwide in doing just that. He launched his own website, TroyTheLocator.com, to help even more people in their pursuit of a long lost friend and family member. From 2008 to 2010, Troy starred in the series The Locator. He is also the author of the book It's Never Too Late: Lessons for Life from The Locator.
