Origin story:

A prophecy has been foretold of a nerd who shall rise from the Internet and usher in a new era of glory and stupidity.

It is a tale that began simply enough in a small town filled with Lovecraftian horror and occasionally old people. Mike “The Birdman” Dodd began assimilating data like a Borg drone and saw information flow from places strange and unusual at a young age. Geekery flowed in his veins and he took pride in it. Luke Skywalker, Jason Voorhes, and many others would become late night companions from the local VHS rental store and the desire to know more grew more intense. Dodd began to feel the need to wander and increase what he could do with his life and soon grew tired of the small town life and with that in mind, he left Owen Sound.

Mike discovered a passion for radio broadcasting and with that, he decided he needed higher education. He went to Niagara College for radio, television and film and found like minded individuals who wished to create a new geek empire. The years passed and the true tests of nerdity. After several years, Mike emerged victorious and began to carve his path into the world as a pop culture expert on radio and television across Canada and in the United states. Birdman has never stopped fighting for the geek, nerd and dork and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
