The Team
Ryan Parish
Ryan, aka Geeky Brummie is a polygeek. A fan of comics, sci-fi, fantasy, anime, movies, TV, gaming and gadgetry, if it’s something geeky, Ryan’s probably had a nose around it at some point. When not geek-wrangling on Saturdays, he eats way too much food and blogs under the name of Brummie Gourmand…
…Oh and he once interviewed Bill Gates.
