Benny Luo – Founder/CEO Benny Luo has been an Internet Marketer since 2006. His expertise lies in social media marketing & strategy, search engine marketing and pay-per-click advertising. He has produced various red-carpet events in Los Angeles, and was the Social Media Strategist for the 2011 Billboard K-Pop Masters Concert held at the MGM Grand Arena. Benny is a former Yonex-sponsored Junior National Badminton Player.

Alan Van – Executive Editor Alan is a mystery to everyone, including the staff at NMR. All that’s known of him is that he is the epitome of a brilliant writer. Accordingly, his works are often misunderstood and always under-appreciated. Expect to see his novels for sale on a bookshelf near you one day, but only if the bookshelf near you happens to be his bookshelf, and loose-leaf Xerox copies of his handwritten journals filled with the erotically charged tales of one Astronaut Johnny Danger Hughes and his sidekick, Pancho the Chow Chow, can be considered “novels.”

Matthew Manarino – Managing Editor After dropping out of Starfleet Academy, Matthew Manarino became an entertainment writer and social media enthusiast. He loves to write and collect comics whenever he is not filming his cats for YouTube videos. It took him 8 hours to write this bio.

Jeff Klima – Senior Editor Jeff Klima is a ray of sunshine cutting through a gray world. With a song in his heart and a smile on his face, he brings a sense of whimsy and a belief in the possibility of the fantastical to everyone he meets. Jeff makes the flowers bloom and the birds chirp. Also, I heard he once kicked a hobo to death.

Ed Carrasco – Staff Writer Ed Carrasco has been in the journalism field for nearly a decade. Some of his photographs/articles have been featured in publications such as The Guardian, LA Weekly, OC Weekly, the Fullertonian, Cerritos-Artesia Patch and Orange Coast Magazine. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English from UCLA and a master’s degree in Journalism from Kingston University in the United Kingdom.

Carly Lanning - Staff Writer I am Carly, Carly I am.

Eddie Coleman – Staff Videographer I tend to get entranced by shiny objects. I enjoy creating things that make me laugh or forces people to say, “What the hell was that?” When I’m not busy being totally gnarly, I enjoy watching movies, playing video games and staring at walls with a blank expression on my face.

Joel Logroño - Video Editor Joel Logroño studied filmmaking at the International Academy of Film and Television in Cebu, Philippines. Since then, watching and making movies have consumed his life like a drug addiction. Aside from editing, Joel keeps a strict habit of articulating only three to five words a day.

Jessica Slater  - Graphic Designer New England born and raised, graphic designer and professional cat woman. ^-^

Derrick Fung – Contributing Writer Derrick Fung is the co-founder and CEO of Tunezy – a website where fans can gain access to exclusive experiences with their favourite YouTubers. Derrick is a top 20 under 30 entrepreneur named by Profit Magazine and a former investment banker.
