Nicole Brice is a Veteran, former college radio DJ, published author, co-owner of MAM and she’s a total music snob. She has been since age 7, when she became obsessed with music upon first hearing Depeche Mode. Located in Baton Rouge, La., she likes the obscure things that people haven’t heard, as well as the things that rock. She likes to go against the grain and against the norm and challenge mainstream ideals and beliefs. With a background of over 15+ years in Marketing & Advertising, she hopes to bring her vision of a free artistic space to life with MAM. Never being one to follow, she likes to research things on her own. With an extreme love for the aesthetic of music & art merged, she is obsessed with fashion – but not just any fashion; it must reflect her punk rock / grunge style and be different from the norm. Bright colors, bright patterns, and a mixture of many textures is what draws her in. Nicole’s also a hardcore wrestling fan and a former Diva’s Champion. Don’t believe it? She has the belt to prove it and the smacketh is often laid down on those who make her angry with no mercy.  She wants to draw attention to and put focus on those who create in hopes of banding together to spread a message of love and unity in a world so divided by hate.

Keeley hibernates in NW Alabama and is co-owner of MAM. She's what she calls a “lifer” when it comes to writing, humor, movies, and sarcasm. Also music, ever since her mom took away her Slaughter “Fly to the Angels” tape for playing it too much and aggravating her sister with it as a kid. With over a decade’s experience in entertainment journalism as a writer, editor, and copy editor, she also writes film and television reviews, recaps, and whatever else tickles her fancy for Loud and Clear Reviews. Additionally, she is a published author and a big, ole film and streaming nerd, who just so happens to be our managing & content editor.
How did we get so lucky? 
She’s also lords over The Film Spot and Stream This. Her proudest fan girl moment was in 2018 at a Ben Folds/CAKE concert. She got to hang out backstage and when he touched her back during a picture together, she almost fainted.

Tim is a seasoned journalist and author with a penchant for all things dark, macabre, and somewhat sinister. But we promise he doesn't bite. He's a freelance communicator who likes to tell all kinds of stories with words, photos, and video, and he has extensive experience working in traditional media (newspapers, magazines, and book publishing). With an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Goucher College and a B.A in Communication from the University of Alabama, he loves storytelling by any method. A native of Russellville, Alabama, Tim currently lives in Tuscumbia with his wife, Taryn, who has an affinity for tarot cards, and their dog, Maple, who has an affinity for chewing remote controls. Don't let his clean looks fool you, though; he fits right in with our cool-kid shenanigans.

Jeff Crespi is … well … he’s a riot; can you not tell? No way we were gonna pass on having him come play in our sandbox. Jeff is an award-winning professional concert photographer out of New Jersey covering hundreds of shows each year. He’s the house photographer for the legendary Stone Pony and Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, NJ, and he is one of the house photographers at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville. He’s also the winner of the Asbury Music Award Top Music Photographer five years running. Expect some badassery from this one.

Gary has been working as a video professional since grunge kicked the door down on rock radio, then he picked up his Nikon just a few years later. A lifelong music enthusiast, Gary enjoys band photography and album art just as much as the music itself. He’s a big fan of any-and-all rock ‘n roll, including classic rock, punk, alternative, and hard rock, but he certainly enjoys some jazz and classical vibes when it’s time to relax. He has been serving as band photographer for Christian Rock group, Empowered, including directing, shooting, and editing one of their music videos. When not following the band around or toiling away at his regular video job, Gary spends his time lamenting the loss of the local record store-shopping experience. He is located in Baton Rouge, LA.

He looks scary, but we promise he’s not. He does write scary stuff though, and we can vouch for his filthy, incredible talent. Zeke is known by his fans as “The Paranormal Pastor” or “The Pastor of Horror” because, well, he’s a fantastic horror author with over 20 years in ministry. He’s also a paranormal investigator with some pretty incredible experiences, and because of all of that, he brings a unique and original touch to the dark fiction genre. His writings run the gamut of human existence, and he likes to write in various styles and voices to allow his tales the narration and visceral characters needed to make the words jump off the page. And jump, they do. Right in your face. The only other language he’s fluent in is sarcasm, which explains why he’s such a perfect fit with us. With three theological degrees, a romantic side, and an affinity for martial arts, he’ll fight anyone who says they don’t like Bruce Campbell.

We have some entertainment writing royalty here, ladies, gents, and non-binaries! We call this pop culture enthusiast and comic book nerd Shaun Corley. He comes to us from the East Coast and is a big, important Screen Rant writer with thousands of articles to his credit. He also has many leather-bound books and his apartment smells of rich mahogany. A first-generation college graduate, Shaun holds so many literary degrees, we’ve lost count, but he is adorned in accolades, and we love him. Some of his favorite writers are Haruki Murakami, Jonathan Lethem, NK Jemisin, and Stephen Graham Jones, and his favorite directors are David Cronenberg, David Lynch, Richard Linklater, and the Coen Bros. He’s also a fan of sweet tea and he loves chocolate. We don’t feed him after midnight, though. Ever.
