LUCA DEL ROSSO
SHOW DIRECTOR

Luca loves the simple things. He prefers to spend his days with his family, listening to music, watching movies, and rooting for the 49ers, of course. One thing he's always wanted? A Porsche 911 Targa. It's no wonder his comfort show is Top Gear—Luca's got good taste in cars. When we asked him what his greatest achievement was, he said it was too soon to tell, and you know what? That's the spirit we're looking for. We know something great is coming.

BREANNE RUSKOWSKY (SHE/HER)
OPERATIONS MANAGER

You can sum up Breanne with two words: Books & Mugs. If she isn’t reading, she’s looking for more books to read. If she isn’t doing that, she’s finding new mugs to add to her ever-growing collection. She firmly believes that there is always a different mug for every mood and situation. Breanne’s favourite movie is Jurassic Park (although she does enjoy Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World. And Jurassic Park 3. and Jurassic World. Oh, and also Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.) On an emotional level, Breanne is sure she’s related to Alan from the Jurassic Park franchise.

ELIZA ROCCO (SHE/HER)
EVENT CONTENT / PROGRAMMING PRODUCER

Meet Eliza Rocco, Event Content Coordinator who brings big film buff energy, and an even bigger collection of cowboy boots. A filmmaker with a love for all things behind-the-scenes, she’s our resident tech wiz, movie soundtrack expert, and sandwich shop whisperer. When she’s not coordinating content with the precision of a teleporting superhero, you can find her hanging with her cat and dog, decked out in thrifted fits, or on the hunt for her dream pink motorized Jeep. Nicknamed “Hurricane Eliza” for her whirlwind of enthusiasm, she’s got solutions for everything—except maybe how many outfits her pets really need.

KARLI IRVINE (SHE/HER)
MARKETING COORDINATOR

It's time to meet Karli. You could also say you met Troian Bellisario, since everyone seems to think they look alike. While she may not resemble Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation appearance-wise, Karli swears they are twin flames. They’re both planners, coordinators and over-celebrators for any birthday, accomplishment or moment worth commemorating. She was also told once that she’s the distant relative of Colonel Irvine, who helped name Calgary. Is it actually true? Karli can’t confirm, but it’s a good story. If you want to get on Karli’s good side, add to her never-ending collection by sending her a post card from your next adventure (with a very detailed story of your travels).

KEVIN BOYD (HE/HIM)
COMIC RELATIONS COORDINATOR

Kevin Boyd, Comic Relations Coordinator and ultimate Spidey fan is a web (pun intended) of industry sources in the world of comics. Since the age of 12, Kevin has been wall-crawling through comic book conventions to feed his endless curiosity. Now for FAN EXPO HQ, he swings around from city to city, on the hunt for awesome comics and… pancakes with bacon. So yes he does have complicated feelings about Spider-Pig.

GEORGE ZOTTI (HE/HIM)
SALES & EXHIBITOR RELATIONS MANAGER

From being a vendor at the very first FAN EXPO HQ to becoming Sales and Exhibitor Relations Manager, George Zotti aka G-man has seen it all… maybe too much. So it’s no surprise that if he was a superhero he would want the powers of the Vision or Martian Manhunter because, well, they seemingly have every power. When he’s not being an all-powerful God (get it? G-man?) you can find him solving problems on the fly and making sure everyone has a good show.

JIMMY ZHAO (HE/HIM)
SALES ACCOUNT COORDINATOR

Kung Fu Panda is the perfect movie, according to Jimmy. Don’t bother trying to argue with him about it though since he would use the power to freeze time to think of the perfect comeback to your argument. As the movie lover he is, Jimmy will never understand why things that could be on the big screen end up as television shows. Except for sitcoms about married couples who don’t hate each other; those we could use more of. Speaking of married couples, Jimmy loves his wife very much and considers her his hero. He also has a love for spicy food with his favorite meal being spicy sesame liang pi, which makes sense since the one thing he couldn’t live without is hot sauce.

TYLER WENTZ
SPONSORSHIP DIRECTOR

As Sponsorship Director at FAN EXPO, Tyler Wentz brings a calm, personable energy, and a focus on building strong connections. A longtime fan of Warhammer 40K, Star Wars, and Fallout, Tyler’s love for storytelling runs deep—especially when it comes to sharing his fave movie quotes or revisiting the moment he and his wife stood in the same spot Anakin and Padmé were married. He starts his mornings with quiet meditation and ends most days with a Dr. Pepper, always finding time for a bit of fandom, film, or fun in between.

ARIC LUOMA (HE/HIM)
SPONSORSHIP RELATIONS COORDINATOR

Aric Luoma, aka Monty, is as cool as they come. He’s handy when it comes to home renovations and even built his own home with the help of his father. With a large collection of motorcycles, bikes, and ATVs, Aric is always fixing up a new ride to add to his collection. On top of all that manual labor, he still manages to muster up the energy to go to the gym frequently. That’s some next-level motivation. Oh, and if you want to try the world's best garlic knots, he’s your guy.

JOHN PRICE
PARTNERSHIP MANAGER

John is a contrarian; so, he doesn't like trends. However, he does like the trend of being a contrarian. Confused? Don’t worry about it. John is also a fan of Magic the Gathering, with a dream of his being to own the elusive and exclusive Black Lotus card. If not the Black Lotus, a close second dream come true would be to have superhero powers comprising of the proportionate speed, agility, and strength of a spider. That'd also be pretty great. If he was stranded on a deserted island, while he’d miss his wife and kids, John would prefer to have his iPhone with him. He's a great guy, so he'd rather spare them the certain death, especially since John would say his greatest achievement is keeping his kids alive.
