| Donika Miller |

| Job: I spend the majority of my time editing Rudius sites and participating in editorial projects. My day-to-day responsibilities range from discussing story ideas with an author to developing book proposals to participating in the Rudius Media Writer's Forum. |

| Bio: My story is pretty typical--nice suburban
girl, prep school, state college, respectable jobs after graduation....The problems came with the respectable jobs and an unshakable feeling that my soul was dying in them. The one thing that wouldn't die, though, was my
love for good stories and writing. As such, I'm a refugee from corporate
America, hoping to redeem myself by doing good within the creative world. For
the first time ever, I believe in what I do for a living. This is my blog. |

| Mike Soloway |

| Job: I run the Legal
Department of Rudius Media. |

| Bio: I grew up in the glorious suburbs of Rockland County, New York, which us Rocklanders affectionately call "The Rock." Following high school, I attended Boston University where I studied Political Science and Psychology. Being the son of a lawyer and now possessing a bachelor's in Political Science, I took the logical step of going on to law school. After three years at Brooklyn Law School, now armed with a JD, and the successful passing of the New York bar, I took a job with Satterlee Stephens Burke & Burke LLP in Manhattan. At Satterlee I was a commercial litigator working on various high-profile defenses. After four years at Satterlee, I went looking for a new job, hoping to find something I would be happy to put my time and effort into. In the process, a failed business proposition to Tucker Max started me down my current path of helping bring light to a new group of creative writers whose voice should be heard. |

| Nils A. Parker |
| Title: Writer & Editor |
| Job: I create and develop content for Rudius Media in my capacities as writer of blogs and screenplays and editor of young writers. |

| Bio: I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After high school, I intended on majoring in kicking ass and minoring in taking names, but I was rejected by The School of Hard Knocks and put on the waiting list at The Academy of Minor Skirmishes. Those dreams of
hard-assery scuttled, I went with my safety school. I managed to escape the University of California, Berkeley in the spring of 2000 with a Bachelor's in history and a minor in film. After college I spent 5 years as a paralegal at
an intellectual property law firm in San Francisco where I excelled at memo writing and, according to my boss, "knowing it all." In 2005, I came to the conclusion that I actually wanted to practice law and subsequently
enrolled at Seton Hall Law School in that diamond in the rough known as Newark, New Jersey. I spent a year there before realizing I did not want to practice law, but rather, wanted to write full-time. Currently, I write on DrunkRex and collaborate with Tucker Max on all of Rudius Media's film projects. Additionally, I work with most of Rudius Media's young, burgeoning authors and run the Rudius Media Message Board. For fun, I gamble on football, troll for hookers under highway overpasses, and watch The Wire on DVD in order to perfect my Stringer Bell impersonation. |

| Ben Corman |
| Title: Writer & Editor |

| Contact: bencorman@rudiusmedia.com |
| Bio: I'm a transplant from the East Coast and a former IT drone. I'm finishing a degree in Political Science at the University of California at Los Angeles. I do a bit of writing about writing on my blog. |

| Erin Tyler (a/k/a "The Bunny") |
| Title: Creative Director |
| Job: I make the Rudius sites look pretty. |
| Contact: TheBunnyBlog@Gmail.com |
| Bio: I see the world as carved from honey and accessorized with jellybeans and glitter. Puppy dogs are my favorites, but baby ducks named Jameson come in a close second. I love watching MMA and Bas Rutten is my second favorite fighter. My number one favorite is of course Jeff Waldman. He's the best I've ever seen and could break a bears face. But I wouldn't want him to because bears are adorable. I smell like pink. |

| Ryan Holiday |
| Title: Director of PR |
| Job: Public relations for all the authors in the Rudius Media platform. Coordinate social media/networking. Promote sites and books. Moderate Power, Seduction and War Room. |
| Contact: ryan.holiday@rudiusmedia.com |
| Bio: Getting the tone right in these things is hard, but I'll give it a shot. I've worked for Rudius for a year now, starting right after I turned 19. It started with an email to Tucker and went from there as a result of reading nearly everything I could possibly get my hands on. For me, Rudius has been a sort of golden ticket that allowed me access into a world normally closed off to people my age. I handle the PR direction of the company and have spent the last several months positioning myself as a connector in internet and Hollywood entertainment. It is very much a new process--a sort of "make it up as you go along" type ride. I write about this on my blog among many other topics. Hopefully, I am one of the more accessible employees. I tend to get a lot of email from people asking for advice and book recommendations. Feel free to shoot me one of those any time. |

| Jeff Waldman |
| Title: VP of Operations |
| Job: I work under our esteemed CEO and keep tabs on the company's operations. You can also find me working with developing writers and potential authors over on the Rudius Writer's Forum. |
| Contact: Jeffrey.Waldman@rudiusmedia.com |
| Bio: I grew up in Southern California and joined the US Air Force after high school. Four years later and I was working in a similar field performing unfulfilled lab work in San Diego. It took a few more years to reach clarity but I eventually made the decision to take back my life and do something that had the potential to provide true reward--moving to Los Angeles and working for Rudius Media full-time. Thus far, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. When I'm not working for Rudius, you can probably find me training in the gym or somewhere far away from the noise and smog enjoying some unfiltered oxygen. |
