Our Team

As a special events consultant, Lucia Tilton is constantly making sure your world runs smoothly, and more importantly, that you are having the best time ever! As Fangaea’s Event Director, her diverse background includes art gallery event management, television public relations and engagement, corporate conference creation and execution, and athletic annual workshops, to name a few.

Lucia loves volunteering as a docent at the Timken Museum of art in Balboa Park, eating all the types of chocolate ever created on the planet Earth, and cosplaying, preferably in purple or black.

Clarissa is a jack-of-all-fandoms, with interests including Dungeons & Dragons, K-pop, Magic: the Gathering, romcom anime and action video games to name a few. She has been with the Silk Road team since the very first Fangaea, cosplaying as the mascot, Gaia. She forms half of the S-rank Power Couple with her long-time partner, Joshua. When she’s not doing nerd sh*t, she can be found doodling in her sketchbook and hanging out with her two cool sisters.

Joshua is a level 999 Master Rank Hunter and pirate enthusiast. He forms half of the S-rank Power Couple with his long-time partner, Clarissa. He’s been with the Silk Road team since time immemorial and he loves meeting and commissioning local artists. When he’s not submerged in a body of water, Josh can be found playing Magic: the Gathering or DMing a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

Pro at multi-tasking, coming in 2 inches shy of 5 feet, this small but mighty lady is a marathon eater and will finish off what you can’t eat. Fighting and creating dialogue on social justice issues on the side, she can be found at most community events with Silk Road Productions.

You can say that there will be some people who consider has as a real life Dr Who Companion due to weird things happening around her a lot, creating those, you have to be there to believe it moments. Ignoring her klutziness, if she’s not taking pictures with her phone or camera, with music & food to power her up, she will be nearby to solve most issues that arise at an event and help make the rest of the do go smoothly as possible.

Born and raised San Diego local with a 10 year filler episode in Denver, Colorado. This Event Mercenary first experienced special events in 2019 and has since discovered his passion in serving others by ensuring the events he works keep rolling without the attendees knowing there’s fires being put out.

He likes to complete team lifts alone, forget the names of people he was just introduced to, and give out affirming compliments to everybody unsure on the path they’re taking in life. Anything you say can and will be taken to the gutter in his presence, but don’t let that fool you. He upholds his own professional standard as high as the rest of the team he is working alongside.

Coming from the frozen reaches of Montana, Brendan has faced dragons, demons, and endless armies of foes.  All through the fantastic hobby of gaming. He is one of the leading members of GamerConSD, creating events to bring gamers of all backgrounds together through a mutual love of gaming. If it requires dice, cards, a controller, or a computer, Brendan is down to try it once. He also does cosplays for charity and enjoys going to movies with friends.

Mickey presses the buttons on the keyboard. Sometimes he presses the wrong buttons. Sometimes he presses the right buttons, but bad things still happen. Regardless, he will unfailingly wake up tomorrow and continue to press the buttons.

Dennis-Michael (aka DM) is a self-proclaimed awesome guy. He is the founder of Silk Road Productions, a pretty awesome event production and management organization that has created a ton of awesome events.

In addition to Fangaea, Dennis-Michael and the Silk Road team created AniPop, H-Matsuri, Scream Diego, San Diego Anime Con, AnimeLand, the Tortured Hearts Ball, the San Diego Ramen Festival, and a lot of other awesome stuff.

He also spends a lot of time volunteering and doing humanitarian missions in impoverished and developing parts of the world. He also overuses the word “awesome.”
