Lillith Grave

Executive Producer

Born at a Naval base in Norfolk, Virginia my father moved after retiring back to El Paso where I’ve grown up and come to love the city. I dream of sharing my stories and trying to relate to those who feel like they aren’t represented enough. I dream of connecting with readers and others who feel just like we do. I love streaming and playing Dungeons & Dragons with all of my friends, I play videogames and enjoy good conversation.

David Gammage

Co-Executive Producer

I’m from a small one-horse town in Southern California named Nuevo. I love playing video games, drawing, anime, and pro-wrestling. My favorite video game is Mega Man X, my favorite anime is One Piece, and my favorite Wrestler of all time is Stone Cold Steve Austin (Although the Undertaker is also right up there with him). I was also a clarinetist in the marching band and played baseball as the catcher throughout high school. A big dream of mine right now is to find a way to break into the wrestling entertainment industry. I’ve always dreamt about throwing down in the squared circle and even if I only have a couple good years in it I would never regret that dream.
