Alisa Stewart   Queen of Quizzery
Alisa passed all the Mensa tests & could be a member of the elite group, but she'd much rather write quizzes, hang out in pubs, drink beer and give money & pitchers of beer away. Besides, Mensa meetings have got to be boring. Wendy Holmes   Quizmaster Extraordinaire
I lived most of my life in the Sacramento Valley of California in a little, rural community called Yuba City. I was one of those awkward teenagers who just wanted to be accepted. I met a young man who liked me and we started dating. I married my high school sweetheart and had 2 children with him. Shortly after we separated, I shed my California tan for a Portland umbrella, and my kids & I share our pad with my new beau, his Rottweiler, and our 2 cats. I love dancing, shooting excellent tequila, camp, hot tubbing, more dancing, movies, and did I mention dancing? My daughter and I like to be couch potatoes on Sundays, catching up on all of the reality TV shows we DVR. My boyfriend and I hit up the karaoke every week. It's one of my moments to be famous. LOL. And here we are! Jeremy Henrickson   Quizmaster Extraordinaire
I previously worked in the hustle and bustle of a newspaper called The Argus. Now, I am living happily in Beaverton with my cat, who demands most of my free time. When I do get a moment, I am always up to things of a notorious nature with my buddies over in Portland. It never ceases to provide new and interesting ways to get into trouble. The good kind of trouble - not the Big Trouble you'd sometimes find in Little China. With Kurt Russell. John Patrick Pullen   Quizmaster Extraordinaire
However, since he spends his days working as a freelance writer, people mostly ask him to write and edit various things. Once upon a time, he edited the third best inflight magazine in the country. He has also worked on the world's most colorful direct marketing industry trade publication, a women's website where he - using an assumed name - gave brides-to-be advice based on his very limited experience of being (and staying) married just once, as well as several travel magazines for places he's scarcely been. David Sedaris has called him "very nice," and Ira Glass once left him a voicemail message. And yet while none of these things qualify him to be a Quizmaster, his adroit manner with the English language, comfort with public speaking in general, years of experience as a pub trivia player, and crackerjack ability to recite lyrics of 1980s sit-com theme songs somehow make him perfect for the job. Oh yeah, and he was a Resident Advisor in college, so he knows how to handle pain-in-the-ass drunks. Pat Moran   Quizmaster Extraordinaire
Well, a lot of things actually. He is a Seattle native who emigrated down the I-5 corridor to go to school at the University of Portland where he earned a degree in Acting. He also earned a degree in how to accrue hilariously large, almost Scrooge McDuck-ian heaps of student loans but that is neither here nor there. In addition to a career as a local actor, Pat is a writer for a few decently respected magazines and is hard at work developing the proverbial "somewhat great sort of American novella". He also saves his pennies to travel to places that remind people of different stomach viruses, such as Kathmandu, Bangkok and Spokane. He likes reminding people to drive the speed limit, trying to learn how to cook more than canned food, listening to too much NPR and being outdoors while saying things like "why don't we do this more often?" and "Hey cool! A Bear! Let's get closer!". He also is aware that his last name is similar to "Moron" but considers it a term of endearment and a low set of expectations. John Broetje   Quizmaster Extraordinaire
He earned his BA after a grueling five years, in between skipping classes he found out that sitting on the corner of the road playing "you honk we drink" was much more educational than any class. Please if you see John walking on the side of the street, stop him, say "hello", share some useless information with him and perhaps you'll hear him "howl" in return... Kevin Parks   Quizmaster Extraordinaire
He has spent a solid month with both Michelangelo's David and Rodin's Thinker, and once unwittingly awoke in the middle of the Adriatic Sea. He's slept amongst the dusty aisles in Paris' Shakespeare & Co. Bookstore (and thought about doing the same at Powell's, before deciding otherwise), and he nearly died while off-roading through the landmine-ridden mountains of Afghanistan (presumably looking for snow leopards--and Osama). He's also traveled to every state in the country, except Arizona. (He now attests that to be a personal political boycott, though the more logical amongst you surely realize it's mere coincidence.) Kevin's always been a contrarian, enjoys the rain, and likes craft beer and bicycles, so moving to Portland seemed like a good fit (plus he now gets to shop at Powell's regularly without having to stow away amongst the stacks). Carlson Muss   Quizmaster Extraordinaire
Muss is currently a full time student at the Pacific Northwest College of Art. Studying video, he plans of making revolutionary music videos for you (if you're a musician of sorts, or a receptive audience of musicians of sorts). Liz Veazey   Quizmaster Apprentice
