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.

Glenn Arbery | , a senior editor at People Newspapers and a contributing editor of D Magazine, keeps the walls of his cubicle bare, just in case. He taught literature at the University of St. Thomas in Houston and at Thomas More College in New Hampshire before coming to Dallas in 1997 as director of the Teachers Academy at the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture. After carefully reading his book Why Literature Matters, Wick Allison hired him in 2003 to write about theater and film.

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.

Eric Celeste | is managing editor at D Magazine. Since graduating SMU in 1990, he has worked at, in chronological order, the Dallas Morning News, D Magazine, The Met, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Microsoft Sidewalk, DFW Lifestyles, back to the Star-Telegram, the Dallas Observer, American Way, Southwest Spirit, Celeste Media, and, finally, here again. He is obsessed with his weight, which has fluctuated between 191 and 227 pounds in the past three years. This morning he weighed in at 198.2.

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 assistant editor of 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 the managing editor at D CEO. Born and raised in West Texas, she graduated from TCU and has a master’s in journalism from Columbia University. She began at D as an intern in 2006, and has since worked as society editor and real estate editor at People Newspapers. She has an extensive collection of blackmail-quality party pics from her year on the Park Cities society beat.

Glenn Hunter | is executive editor of D CEO. A native of Santa Barbara, Calif., 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. His office is a work in progress.

Adam McGill | is the online editorial director at D. (He doesn’t know what that means, either.) Prior to that, he was the founding executive editor of D CEO and a senior editor at D Magazine. He is a Dallas native and went to a couple of schools you might have heard of. He has worked at The Met and Travelocity Magazine, neither of which is in existence anymore, but that’s not his fault, he swears. He uses adverbs sparingly.

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.

Stephanie Quadri | is the style editor of D Magazine. 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 executive editor of D Magazine. He came to Dallas from Santa Barbara 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.”

Stacey Yervasi |is the assistant managing editor at D Magazine. She grew up in Plano (post-suicide, pre-heroin), which little prepared her for college at Loyola University in New Orleans. She was an intern at D before logging two and a half years in the trenches at People Newspapers. Next to God, family, and martinis, hip-hop is the love of her life. She would love to join your step team.
