Randy Zilinski is a native of Detroit, MI and an enthusiast of entrepreneurship and has longed to work for himself. After pursuing a job in the Architectual and Engineering world and finding his heart wasn't in it, he decided to chase his dream with what he loves. Online Publishing is a new adventure for him, but the geeky side of the world is not. With years of playing videogames, watching anime, creating cosplay costumes and props under his belt, he's pursueing a degree in business and a chance to share his knowledge and passion with the world.

Kevin Ma is currently a student, and also a freelance screenwriter. As a kid, Kevin has always spent most of his time watching anime, movies, and TV. He saw it as more than just moving pictures on a screen. Over time, Kevin has learned to connect with the story and culture of these forms of entertainment. He always finds himself daydreaming (even when he shouldn’t) about his favorite anime, movies, and shows.
Kevin desires to create stories after being inspired by some of his favorites. He wrote several short stories, and also a feature length screenplay. Now, Kevin is going to take his passion into Blue Nimbus Media, as a writer and an editor.
