About

Mighty Monkey Corporation

Mighty Monkey Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational corporation dedicated to encouraging an interest in and appreciation of Science, Technology, and the Arts by creating awareness of, and appreciation for, popular culture art forms, primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that provide opportunities for participation in the community. The Corporation was formed for the charitable purpose of preserving and showcasing contemporary cultural elements depicted, while being a driving force for equality, inclusion, diversity, cooperation and public service in our communities.

MMC is staffed by a dedicated group of educators, artists, technologists and public servants from throughout the Western and Central New York regions, dedicated to being an ongoing part of the community and ensuring a place for all regardless of gender, orientation, disability, race, age or religion. All money raised, whether through event ticket sales, sponsorship, or fundraising, is used for our annual convention and our year round activities in the community. We are a 100% volunteer run organization.

Cast:

Christopher Frank

(MMC Vice-President/FC3 Monkey Business Host)

-There is a fine line between genius and crazy… I like to use that line as a jump rope. I’ve been a Doctor Who fan longer than a lot of you have been alive. I can quote the original Star Wars nearly verbatim; and have an extensive Dungeons & Dragons library and comic book collection. Needless to say, my Geek Credentials are in excellent order.

What’s my job in all this? Making sure you’re having a great time and that you get the chance to feel like you’re part of something amazing. So let’s saddle up and let your freak flag fly!

Tanya Metras

(MMC – Secretary/Talent Liaison, FC3 Monkey Business Host)

-I am a huge sci-fi and fantasy fan, loving shows like Firefly, Doctor Who, Stargate 1, Star Trek, and numerous others. According to the students I teach, I am a geek or a nerd, and very proud of it. I play Dungeons and Dragons several times a week.

Billy D’Ettore

(FC3 Monkey Business Broadcast Engineer/Cast)

In addition to my work with FC3 Monkey Business, I'm a producer on one of the best morning radio shows ever... The Wease Show in Rochester, NY. I'm a pop culture trivia nerd.
