ALDEN KIRKMAN (SHE/HER)
SHOW MANAGER

Meet Alden Kirkman—though you can call her JAK. As Show Manager, she’s bringing curiosity, kindness, and a serious travel wishlist to FAN EXPO. She’s a fan of immersive tech, philosophical cinema (Six Degrees of Separation is on repeat), and hosting a good dinner party. Ask her about the original Nozawa, her fave books, or how close she is to finally acquiring that helicopter. Bonus: she’s probably got music playing in the background.

TYLER WENTZ (HE/HIM)
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.

CLAUDIA WIESE (SHE/HER)
EXHIBITOR & SPONSORSHIP RELATIONS MANAGER

Claudia’s earliest adventure into Fandom was waiting in line for the 4th Harry Potter book release at Chapters. Since then, you can catch her watching True Detective (Season 1), Grand Budapest Hotel, or daydreaming about being best friends with Deb Morgan from Dexter. If someone from the Fandom world were going to play Claudia in a movie about her life, it would have to be Jennifer Lawrence. That’s for sure. If you’re the type of person to wear socks & sandals while watching TikTok, it’s generally best to steer clear of Claudia. Just a fair warning. If you like yoga, hiking or veggies & humus however, you and Claudia will get along just fine.

DAYNA KENWORTHY (SHE/HER)
MARKETING COORDINATOR

Meet Dayna—FAN EXPO’s Marketing Coordinator and a longtime fandom devotee. Her roster of cosplays is over 40 deep (not counting wigs), and her storage unit could probably qualify for a side quest. She’s a fan of Zelda, WoW, Lord of the Rings, and the idea of having her own line of dog costumes like Dolly Parton. Off the clock, you’ll find her watching Futurama, rewatching Marilyn Monroe movies, or sipping a Canadian IPA at a local Toronto show—with her dog Kirby never too far away.

ALEX WER (HE/HIM)
SALES MANAGER

Introducing the award-winning pumpkin artist, The Pumpkin Geek. When Alex isn’t winning awards for his jaw-dropping pumpkin carvings, he’s writing and recording music in his studio. Did we mention that he once got offered a recording contract with Capitol Records in 1993? He’s also managed to master the art of becoming Spider-Man… he’s jumped off his roof many times and never been hurt. In his off time, you can find Alex watching Friends, Modern Family, This is Us or any of Emily Blunt’s projects (he loves everything she does).

NIKO HARRIS (HE/HIM)
SALES ACCOUNT COORDINATOR

Niko is always ready for a throwback, especially if it’s related to The Golden Girls. Thank you for being a friend, Niko. And thanks to Niko’s older brother for introducing him to fandom through comic books. Now, as an adult, Niko is a fan of Daredevil and Black Panther. You never forget your first fandom. Niko is also a hero himself as he's a dad to two incredible twins.

TYLER WEGEHAUPT (HE/HIM)
EVENT OPERATIONS MANAGER

Tyler’s life is equal parts sparkle, sass, and seltzer. He’s a RuPaul’s Drag Race and Taylor Swift fan who still dreams about the seafood in Honolulu and won’t stop wondering why Miss Congeniality hasn’t been turned into a Broadway musical. His yorkie Joey is the real star of the show (with more toys than he’ll ever need), though Tyler might argue his own 4th Grade Jump Rope for Heart championship deserves a spotlight too. Catch him at the Dolby Theater with his AMC A-List pass or rewatching The Grinch for the hundredth time.

FARRAH MUSTAC
EVENT CONTENT/PROGRAMMING PRODUCER

Farrah’s world is fueled by fandom—DC Comics, anime, SEGA classics, and above all One Piece. Her favorite memory? Cosplaying Zoro during the Times Square takeover as the city lit up in Straw Hat style. When she’s not diving into anime arcs, she’s exploring museums, hunting for hidden food court gems in Queens, or adding another plushie or graphic tee to her ever-growing collection. Just don’t bring up Sonic the Hedgehog unless you’re ready for an all-day chat.
