GeekU.P. was founded by Shana Porteen (Black Ice Comics) and Actress /Voice Actress Patricia Summersett. Shana is the owner of
Black Ice Comics, located in Houghton, Michigan. Patricia, originally from L’Anse, MI, is an accomplished actor/voice actor doing voice
and motion capture for several video games including Zelda: Breath of the Wild (worldwide 2017 Game of the Year),
Rainbow Six: Siege, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and the Assassin's Creed Franchise. Wanting to give back to the community
they love, they decided to create GeekU.P.! This is the 3rd year of this popular event and it continues to grow.
​We hope you’ll join us in making this year particularly memorable!
