Wick Allison | is the publisher and editor of D Magazine, which he founded in 1974. He is a Dallas native and a graduate of Highland Park High School and UT Austin. Wick has hanging on his office wall a 37-pound taxidermied Atlantic salmon that he dragged out of the Grand Cascapedia.
Julie Blacklidge | is D Magazine’s online publisher and wine columnist. She has been working online since 1998 when she graduated from San Francisco State University and started as Associate Editor for Iconocast, Business 2.0’s Internet marketing newsletter. In addition to a few dotcom bombs, she has worked with San Francisco magazine, Business 2.0, Maximum PC, MacAddict, and The Fort Worth Business Press. Her office is littered with wine bottles and sticks to the edict that it takes a lot of good wine to make great Web sites.
Zac Crain | is a senior editor at D Magazine. He moved to Dallas in 1997, and since then, he’s worked as an editor at the Dallas Observer and American Way, written for Esquire and Spin, ran for Dallas mayor, written a book, and served as “glue guy” for a handful of rec-league basketball squads. Scouting report: can’t go right, but he’s a creative passer and semi-accurate set shooter.
Sarah Eveans | is the events editor for dmagazine.com and a contributing editor for D Magazine. She grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, and graduated from SMU. She is also a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, but somehow she still doesn’t cook very well. She has worked at The Food Network, Saveur, PaperCity, and In Touch, where she once had to fly to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to spy on Jessica Simpson (she wasn’t there). She has in her cubicle three calendars, about 200 magazines, and a picture of her mother’s dogs.
Kristiana Heap | is managing editor of D CEO. She was born and raised in Odessa, Texas, graduated from TCU, and has a master’s in journalism from Columbia University. She got her start in the D empire as a summer intern and discovered Dallas’ dark underbelly while working as the society editor for People Newspapers. After a year as Park Cities People’s real estate editor, she realized that money can buy happiness—or at least cover the down payment. In her cubicle, you’ll find a bowling pin and a photo of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.
Jason Heid | is a sort of utility infielder for the D family, writing and editing for D CEO and other special projects. Though originally from the Land of Lincoln, he considers beautiful Denton, Texas, his hometown and graduated with a degree in history from Trinity University. A former newspaper publisher and editor, he’s worked at People Newspapers, the Dallas Morning News, and too many other suburban weeklies to name here. He’s been kicked out of Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, pushed out of a bar in Flagstaff, Arizona, and screamed out of a convenience store in Budapest, Hungary.
Glenn Hunter | is executive editor of D CEO. A native of Santa Barbara, California, Glenn’s a journalism graduate of Arizona State University and a former editor of the Dallas Business Journal. His claim to fame is hanging with the famous (Donald Trump, Harold Simmons, Tim Rogers) and the infamous (Larry Flynt, Merle Haggard, Tim Rogers). Some say that’s why he wears sunglasses 24/7, but the truth is he’s hiding all the lines around his eyes.
Laura Kostelny | is awesome. (She is also the executive editor of D Home.)
Nancy Nichols | is a senior editor at D Magazine. Born in Dallas and somewhat educated at UT Austin, she has a degree in political economics. She did PR for the Dallas Blackhawks, was the GM of the Dallas Diamonds, and has worked for more than 20 years in and around the food business. She has written for D about restaurateur Tristan Simon, hockey great Mike Modano, and the Rockfish oyster deaths. Nancy has in her cubicle a bunch of menus and a folding chair from the Ottawa Senators.
Krista Nightengale | is assistant managing editor at D Magazine. After an arduous childhood of bottle-feeding calves and wrecking grain carts on the family farm in Oklahoma, she attended the University of Oklahoma, where she majored in journalism and minored in religious studies. Then she made it to the big city, where she worked for People Newspapers. After two and a half years at the paper, she wiggled her way into D. Nothing of interest sits on her desk, as clutter makes her itchy and nervous (and she lost her Halo figurine in the move to the new building).
Stephanie Quadri | is the style director of D Magazine and D Weddings. She was born and raised in Dallas, headed west for college at the University of Arizona, went to live in Lugano, Switzerland, for a few months to explore her roots and European style, and then returned to Dallas to find her calling at D. Along with covering fashion and beauty news, she also styles photo shoots for D publications. Stephanie has in her cubicle, among the mess of many beauty products and piles of press releases, an autographed photo of Michael Kors.
Tim Rogers | is the editor of D Magazine. He came to Dallas from Los Angeles in 1976 and graduated from Cistercian and the University of Notre Dame. He was an editor and columnist for The Met and, for a time, he co-hosted Early Merge With Tim & Yvonne on 93.3 FM. Tim has written for D about swimming across White Rock Lake and about Mark Cuban’s threat to “slice [his] f—ing nuts off.”
Peter Simek | is arts editor for D Magazine and dmagazine.com. Born in New York and raised in its shadow on the concrete plains of Long Island, he left the East Coast to attend the University of Dallas. After a brief stint in Rome, Italy, where he called himself a freelance writer, he returned to Dallas to join the staff at People Newspapers. He has covered Dallas City Hall, helped launch Oak Cliff People, and written for D Magazine and D CEO on topics ranging from soccer hooligans and insurance detectives to the pedestrian friendliness of the Dallas Arts District. Prior to joining D, he launched and edited Renegade Bus, an online arts and culture journal.
