Capital of Comics is BACK!
Intro
Hi, I'm ChrisP...and I'm a nerd...a geek...well a lot of things really... But, I LIVE...to build communities where creators, stories, and fandoms thrive. My career spanned comic book retail, esports nonprofits, tabletop events, comic conventions, and creator-driven media ultimately launching and scaling programs that bring people together. I’ve produced hundreds of gaming events, brought convention floors to life, and helped build inclusive spaces where fans feel at home. From founding Columbus Got Game, running operations for Ultimate Comics (the largest comic book retailer in North Carolina), to supporting major conventions like NCComicon/Oak City Comicon/Greensboro Comicon, to co-hosting The Pull List Podcast, my work blends marketing, community management, and fan-first storytelling into experiences that stick. I specialize in turning casual fans into loyal communities, guiding volunteers and teams, and crafting events that feel less like transactions and more like adventures. Whether it’s digital campaigns, grassroots activations, or creator partnerships, my focus is simple: Help creators connect, grow, and tell the stories only they can tell. End of the day I'm here to learn and grow my editorial skills so I can offer something directly to the creator community in helping their stories get told! Let’s build something unforgettable together!
