Dallas Middaugh

Dallas got his start publishing video game strategy guides. A lifelong lover of comics and cartoons, he entered the comics field when he joined Viz Media. From there, he went on to create the Penguin Random House imprint, Del Rey Manga; the publisher Seven Seas; and Kodansha Comics. His career took a left turn into events when he started Crunchyroll Expo, now in its third year with over 45,000 attendees. Although Dallas specializes in publishing, analysis, and event planning, he also has experience with brand marketing, content development, social media, and licensing.

He has very probably read more comics than you.
