Nathan Beatty
Co-Founder and Technical Director
Nathan was born and raised on the banks of the Youghiogheny River outside of Pittsburgh, PA. Almost 20 years ago he moved to Virginia to pursue...something. Quite frankly he can't remember. Instead, he attended the University of Virginia since it was right there and he didn't have anything else to do. After Nathan graduated he got married, had a couple kids, and started his career as a voice actor and author. Now he is the co-founder and producer extraordinaire at the CiP Network.

Perry “Mick” McGrath
Co-Founder and PR/Operations Manager
Mick began experimenting with advanced digital visual effects when he was hired by Echelon Graphic Novels to create a promotional trailer for the series Slate & Ashe. Since then, he has created a variety of promotional videos for creators throughout the the independent comic book industry. Currently working on new promotional videos for Echelon, Mick continues to broaden his techniques of bringing motion to illustrations. Our business brain and marketing guru, Mick is the reason this whole dang operation exists. He was the one who said to Ethan, “Hey, you wanna do a podcast? Yeah? Do you know anyone who can up us with that…”
