Chimera
Volunteer Director
I wrangled the possums and do animal control
Ash/WatermelonBomb
Treasurer/Dealers Den Director
Ayo! What's shakin bacon? I've been in the furry community since 2011, after discovering what a furry was with a Cheshire Cat cosplay/suit I made. My wife has been in the community for about the same amount of time, and we met in 2015, which led us to start a fursuit business together. Since then, I've been a bit of a Jack-of-All-Trades between a small furry business as well as taking part in an HOA as Treasurer and Secretary for roughly 3-4 years, so I bring some of that experience to the table with me.
Directors
Frankie
Security Director
Howdy, My name is Frankie. Don't let my intimidating looks scare you off. I promise I'm friendly and caring when it comes down to it. Don't be afraid to approach me if anyone is causing problems or making you uncomfortable. My priority as Security Director is to ensure things are safe for everyone and everyone is having a good time. A little more about me: I am a big gym rat; I love music (Ghost is my favorite band), gaming, and reading. I'm a big horror fanatic, and from time to time, I watch anime.
Sparky
Marketing Director
Freelance illustrator and lover of joy! I'm a full-time professional artist who enjoys bringing a little fun and whimsy to every piece! When I'm not drawing or managing my online brand, I collect retro toys & red panda plushies, and play too many video games. You can find my work most places under @sparkytopia or at sparkytopia.com. They/them pronouns, located in North Alabama!

I'm engaged to my wonderful brown wolf, @VictorTheFurry, and spend most of my days relaxing, hanging with friends, listening to music, and finding niche electrical projects to get into (or accidentally electrocute myself with).

Rook E. "Rookie" Batson
AV/IT Manager
Hiya! I’m Rookie (they/them)—bat about town, chaos gremlin, and AV/IT Manager extraordinaire! I flap around conventions with my humansona, Haley (she/they), a seasoned broadcasting pro with over 20 years in the industry and just as many spent volunteering at cons like this one. We’ve rolled initiative on everything from AV crises to checking the Wi-Fi signal every five minutes like it’s a side quest—and we always come equipped with a con schedule, at least three backup flash drives, and sonar finely tuned for trouble. Catch us around the con if you need a hand, a mic, or a bat fact you didn’t ask for!
Amanda (DragonDancer)(Dragon Mama)
Artist Alley Manager
Hello peeps! I have been in the convention scene for many, many years, but this is my first Furry Convention. I don't have a fursuit yet, but it's in the making. I help make fursuits. Been doing that for 3-ish years now. I have stories galore if you want to hear about the stuff I have been through. And have a whole lot of dad/bad jokes. I am happy to be a part of this community and make new friends along the way. Let's make this one more special than other FurCons!!! Let's go!
Cassette
Con Store Director
How's it going ^^, I'm Cassette, the convention store director. I'm here to make sure the convention store operates smoothly, or at least prevent it from completely burning down :p. I've been in the Furry fandom since 2018, and I go to a lot of Furry conventions. I love fixing and using vintage electronics and collecting vintage Furry memorabilia, merch, and paper comics.
