Our Team
-
Cameron Strang
CEO
(& Editor, Publisher, Creative Director, Computer Fixer)

-
Josh Babyar
COO
EmailJosh joined the RELEVANT team after spending the previous three years as executive publisher of the very cool arts and culture magazine Stop Smiling. He brings a ton of general market connections and growth ideas with him, to which we say, "Yes, please."
-
Philip Self

EmailPhilip oversees the advertising and sales division, and is responsible for the financial viability of the company. When payday comes around and the checks don't bounce, we all send Philip a thank you note.
-
Michael Romero
Account Manager
EmailMichael joins our team with two goals—increase the marketing impact for our partners, and while you're at it, increase our audience reach too. You know, nothing big.
-
Roxanne Wieman

EmailA Colorado native, Roxanne joined us after leading web and book publishing teams for a couple of major publishers. Her versatility and vision make her a perfect fit because, well, we're at no shortage of ideas.
-
Ashley Emert
Associate Editor
EmailA grad of Flagler College, Ashley handles all copy editing for us, as well as leading the content for RejectApathy.org. Unlike most copy editors out there, she's really nice and funny.
-

-
Josh Loveless

-
Adam Smith
Contributing Editor
EmailAdam has been RELEVANT's managing editor since 2006, though this year he's doing his editorial and podcast duties from New Zealand. Through the mysteries of technology, we're not actually 100% sure he's gone.
-
Tim Dikun
Digital Manager
EmailTim heads up all of our web design and user interaction strategy, as well as jumps into the print world when schedules allow. He also, apparently, likes teapots.
-
Amy Duty
Print Design Manager
EmailA graduate of the presitgious Savannah College of Art & Design, Amy not only heads up our magazine design, but also is the in-team project manager. You should see her whip the guys into shape.
-
Jesse Penico
Senior Marketing Designer
EmailA grad of Ringling (not the clown college), Jesse heads up all marketing design on our team, both print and online. He also does motion graphics and contributes to the magazine. Yeah, he's pretty versatile.
-
Justin Mezell
Junior Designer
EmailJustin is a very talented UCF student who's earning his design chops on our team. Some of our most creative recent work has come from his hand.
-
Chad Michael Snavely
Audio & Video Producer
EmailChad joins our team this fall to head up our podcast production, online radio, RELEVANT.tv and some new plans we can't talk about yet. He's good.
-
Josh Strohm
Systems Administrator
EmailJosh oversees the security, efficiency and backend of the Relevant web world—plus comes to the rescue in PHP emergencies. In short, he makes everything work.
-
Hemarie Vazquez
Senior Marketing Manager
EmailHemarie oversees all marketing plans, from subscription acquisition to newsstand distribution. So pretty much without her we'd be out of business. Not that she regularly blackmails us with that fact.
-
Richard Butcher
Marketing Assistant
EmailRichard assists Hemarie in keeping all of the marketing plates spinning. Trust us, there are a lot of plates.
-
Theresa Dobritch
Project Manager & Executive Assistant to Cameron Strang
EmailTheresa is the bolt on the rims of the RELEVANT vehicle. Without her, the wheels would fall off (or at the very least, Cameron's would). She's also from Ohio, which we don't hold against her.
-
Joanne Garcia
Finance Manager
EmailJoanne handles all of the money matters for the company, so if you owe us any, watch out. She's really nice, but can flip on you faster than an Olympic gymnast.
-
Maya Strang
Payroll Manager
EmailMaya is Cameron's wife and partner in crime. She also handles all of the salaries for the company, so she's our most favorite of all.
-
Rachel Gittens
Fulfillment Manager
EmailRachel is the person you talk to if you have any questions about your RELEVANTstore.com order. She's really nice—you should give her a call if you're bored.
