Dave maulbeck

Some of you know Dave Maulbeck as the best moderator ever of panels for Garden State Comic Fest but did you also know Dave is a multi-hyphenate artist - an actor, writer, illustrator, and producer. A storyteller whose work spans stage, screen, and page, Dave is thrilled to bring his background in performance and visual art together in The Kinetix and The Glowing Orb of Gorthon alongside longtime collaborators Josh Taub and Austin Basis. Diagnosed with dyslexia in third grade, the story of The Kinetix is a deeply personal one for Dave-an exploration of empowerment, identity, and finding strength in what makes us different. As an actor, Dave has appeared on Law & Order: SVU, HBO's The Flight Attendant, the feature film A Complete Unknown, and in numerous independent films and national commercials. Onstage, he's been a fixture at Vivid Stage in New Jersey, where he serves as Director of Improv and leads the company's multimedia projects, including podcasts, web series, and feature films. As an illustrator, Dave is known for emotional, character-driven artwork that explores imagination, humor, and human connection. In addition to The Kinetix, he illustrated the children's book Zoo's On First and continues to develop projects that merge his love of drawing, performance, and storytelling. Dave lives in South Orange, New Jersey, with his wife, Maribeth, and their two children. See more of his work at DaveMaulbeck.com
