Christine Dean is one of Geek Prom's masters of ceremony and a longtime radio dweeb. She hosts the early portion of "Music Through the Day" on KUMD radio (103.3FM in Duluth). She wore really thick glasses from third grade on, each pair uglier than the previous. Her mother made all her clothes when she was growing up, including her underwear. She was a member of 4-H, choir, the Spanish club, yearbook staff and the speech team.

Jonathan Lee is one of the Geek Prom's masters of ceremony. In the sixth grade, he was unanimously voted Class Computer Geek. By the ninth grade, he had founded a club dedicated to the study of Soviet military tactics, strategy and capability. He once created an elaborate system of strings and pulleys to rapidly deliver messages within his house. He has been a Merchant Marine, a toy salesman, a bicycle salesman and a late-night college radio announcer. He ran for Duluth City Council in 1997 and was overwhelmingly defeated. These days, he's an assistant scientist at the Natural Resources Research Institute.

Paul Lundgren is the twit who came up with the idea for Geek Prom. He had huge buckteeth when he was a kid, was constantly beat up by his sister and frequently had his mother cut his hair by putting a bowl on his head and cutting around it. In junior high school, his classmates voted him "Biggest Skid." His years of experience on the audio/visual squad at Denfeld High School led him to a mass communications degree in college. He is best known as a newspaper columnist and a very nice man, but he has also worked as a journalist, newspaper editor, FedEx deliveryman, liquor store clerk, convenience store toilet swabber, telephone book deliveryman, advertising copy writer and radio announcer.

Michael Maki is a theater geek par excellence. He specializes in doing things you won't notice during shows you don't like. He is a member of the Lake Superior Cacophonic Choir, and is registered Good With The Gays. Oh, and he named his blood glucose meter Audrey II. Dig it.

Chris "Lumpy G" Marshall is Geek Prom's head computer geek. When he's around, other geeks feel like the Fonz.

Crystal Pelkey joined the prom committee after being crowned Queen Geek in 2005. She is also the winner of the first-ever Gonzo Gong Show talent competition. A store manager for New Moon Publishing in Duluth, Crystal has degrees in chemistry and physics, which she says she earned "just for fun." Fluent in Spanish and sign language, Crystal is also a proud collector of Star Wars memorabilia and New Kids on the Block comic books. Since the third grade, all of her romances have been imaginary. She has been with her current boyfriend, musician Dave Matthews, for nine years. Crystal has been an actor, director and stage manager in numerous community theater productions. She also enjoys playing Yahtzee with her elderly neighbors and making her own puff paint and patch pants. She once waited in line for three hours to meet Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo, when he made an appearance in Duluth.

Ellen Quinn relishes Geek Prom as her annual opportunity to meet hundreds of single men with library cards. Her biggest claim to fame might be that she once won a Carpenters record at a cakewalk. By day she works as a public information officer for St. Louis County.

Michelle Rowley caught the attention of the prom committee at the first Geek Prom, when her quest to become Queen Geek included such tactics as handing in a geek résumé highlighting her many interests (the foremost one being Pez) and experiences, as well as personal geek references. She didn't win the crown, but she was quickly tapped to join the prom committee. Her big ol' brain has produced many of Geek Prom's finest ideas. Michelle has also been a member of the Duluth Human Rights Commission's citywide task force to stop bullying.
