All About the CrackBerry Team

March 6th, 2013 - We just launched the NEW CrackBerry today. This page is unchanged from the previous site design. The focus isn't on us, but rather it's about making this site kick butt for all our readers, members and casual visitors. We still have a bunch of tweaks to make to the site. Once done, then we'll come back here and sex this page up a bit. And if you want to read about the old legacy roots of CrackBerry, read the original Crack Team story.

The CrackBerry Team

Kevin Michaluk - Fearless Leader of the CrackBerry Nation

Kevin is founder and fearless leader of the CrackBerry nation, the #1 site for BlackBerry users and abusers. Needless to say, he loves RIM's BlackBerrys - and the BlackBerry Playbook - a lot. He also runs the Mobile Nations network for Smartphone Experts. Find him on Twitter @crackberrykevin

Adam Zeis - Senior Editor

Adam was born and raised in New Jersey and proud of it. After working in retail for over 12 years (and twilighting behind a bar for over 11 years) he joined the CrackBerry team in late 2007, and although he got into the BlackBerry game a bit late (his first device was an 8830WE) he never looked back. He loves being able to share his love of BlackBerry every day. Adam can be seen daily scouring the interwebs for the latest BlackBerry news and trolling blog comments or Twitter. Well know for his use of the word "swipey". Find him on Twitter @azeis

Bla1ze - Senior Editor

Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Chris is fluent in all mobile languages. Having been a member of the Smartphone Experts community now for nearly three years, you can often find him here on CrackBerry or at Android Central . You may also follow his random outbursts on Twitter. If you find Chris wondering around your local neighborhood, please point him towards the nearest electrical outlet and toss him a can of Full Throttle energy drink. If you're extra friendly, let Michelle.. his better half know his whereabouts. Find him on Twitter @Bla1ze

Michelle Haag - Jane of All Trades

Michelle has been a loyal BlackBerry abuser since 2008, with her first BlackBerry being a golden Curve 8320. After aligning herself with the likes of Bla1ze for life, she's here at CrackBerry for the long run. While she may be residing in the sun of Arizona for now, she'll soon be headed to Canada to get closer to BlackBerry - although if you ask Bla1ze she's moving there to be with him. Find her on Twitter @_Miche11e_

Alicia Erlich - Contributing Writer

Normally a shy person, Alicia threw caution to the wind and entered the CrackBerry Idol competition in May 2010 and has been writing for CrackBerry ever since. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, she is a gadget and sci-fi junkie who still prefers her BlackBerry Bold 9000. When not tethered to her BlackBerry Torch, she spends her free time reading, watching TV, quoting Princess Bride lines, hanging with friends, and cheering for the NY Mets.

DJ Reyes - Contributing Writer

DJ started contributing to CrackBerry in September 2010 after taking part in CrackBerry Idol. She was introduced to Blackberry devices after working for a UK Network as a Technical Specialist in 2008. Her first Blackberry was the Bold 9000 and from then on to became a CrackBerry addict. She writes her articles from the hills of Scotland. Away from the world of mobiles phones and technology, DJ enjoys singing, playing the guitar, reading, watching, taking part in sports activities, mainly Taekwon-Do. Find her on Twitter @djr3yes

James Richardson - UK Editor

Born and raised in Hertfordshire, UK, James is the new boy in the CrackBerry camp compared to the rest of the team. As you will have seen he loves recording app and games videos as well as blogging the news from around the world. Previously from a sales background and doing some blogging for a UK cross platform mobile tech site, James first fell in love with BlackBerry when he was sent a Bold 9700 to review. That review unit never went back. He parted with his cash and became a true BlackBerry addict and has owned every BlackBerry since. Find him on Twitter @j4mes73.
