About Us

Right then.

Den Of Geek started back in April 2007, after a man called Simon Brew bought a man called Mat Toor a particularly bad coffee in a cafe. Two weeks later, with no little help from a woman called Sarah Dobbs, the site was born.

Since then, it’s erratically grown into a well-tolerated home for news, reviews, features, rants and bad jokes, all for those on the nerdier side of life. It is the work of lots of writing people. These writing people, in fact...

Editor-In-Chief, Den Of Geek (Earth Division):
That’d be Simon Brew

The Man Who Does Lots Of The Work, And Deputises When Simon Isn’t Around, And Generally Runs The World:
Mr Ryan Lambie

Gaming? Who Is The Man Who Does Most Of The Gaming Pieces?
Ah, that’s Aaron Birch.

The Person Who Does Most Of The Television Stuff:
Say hello to Louisa Mellor

Comics, You Say? Who’s The Person Who Wields The Comics Power?
The fearsome due of CJ Wheeler and Jennie Whitwood

Man Who Wields Crayons And Stuff
Matt White. Crayolas are his favourite.

However! Den Of Geek would be nothing without its amazing collection of contributors, who of whom rules the world in their own way. The current roster?

[Er, if we’ve missed you out, shout at us. We lost this list three times while typing it out]

Also, a tip of the hat to the co-editors of Den Of Geek past, Sarah Dobbs and Martin Anderson.

Finally, Den Of Geek would be nothing without the late, great Gaye Birch, who we sadly lost in 2011, but continue to dedicate the site to her.
