He’s Ezio! No, he’s Sub-Zero! No, he’s an Enforcer! Wait, he’s a Cookie Brigadier? At PAX Aus 2014, he was all of the above! He’s Fitz, and boy does he have some pins to sell you. FOR ALL YOUR MONIES. In addition to being great at getting people to part with their hard earned cash, Fitz is a pro fundraising and cookie baking machine. He’s pretty great at organizing the Brigade down under too!Ransim

Ran, more infamously known as Ransim, is primarily involved in organizing for PAX East. Involved with the brigade since 2010 at the first PAX East, she has helped with organizing and distributing since 2011. Her special power? Ability to count over thousands of dollars in mostly singles without losing to much sanity. Aeryn Kelly

Aeryn has been an organizer for several years with PAX East. Known for her ability to organize even the most chaotic cookie horde, Aeryn is was on the ground in Australia to kick off the Brigade at the very first PAX Aus. She’s the nicest brigade admin by far and always happy to help or lend a hand and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about tasty gluten free treats.Punzie
Lead Coordinator
The crafty extraordinaire behind Rapunzel’s Tower on Etsy, Punzie is a well known fixture of the PAX community. Best known all across the US, and now Australia, for her amazing Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip cookies (yes, a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with an oreo), Punzie is the go to resource for bakers. She’s also a great resource for knowing what is going on in the PAX community and has a knack for promotion.Paul Ference
Lead Coordinator
Better known as the mastermind behind the High Charity marathon which raises money for Child’s Play while playing through games in the Halo franchise, Paul has taken over as the Lead Coordinator for PAX West. We’re just going to call him mom though, as he has a knack for ensuring all of the brigadiers who come through HQ are hydrated and loaded up with vitamin C. Did I also mention he makes insanely delicious cookies?
