David Mecey – Founder/Publisher (Former staff photographer-Playboy) Writer, Photographer, Driver. The man whose ‘near-name’ sits atop this magazine David brings what he did for that iconic publication to Mecé Magazine. Similar, yet different. David’s wish, to add a contemporary, sophisticated feel to the photography while upholding the highest standards for the art. For those yearning to know, also sharing how it’s done. 

Kenji Kita – Art Director-Web Designer – Kenji is not only the behind-the-scenes guy with the website/digital magazine, he’s also behind the camera himself since his teenage years, first as a hobby, now as a professional.  He brings a background of corporate IT along with a myriad other talents to Mecé Magazine. Working in enterprise IT for close to 20 years in several varying industries, he brings website creation knowledge, with infrastructure design to create cutting-edge digital content, while also giving the magazine it’s new look.  

Hal Schmitt – Food & Beverage Editor, call sign, ‘Bull’. Former Navy Top Gun pilot-instructor. It was Hal who convinced David he needed to bring out a magazine containing beautiful photography of beautiful women. A more mellow Hal is himself a gifted photographer and serious master of Photoshop, teaching both for years at his own studio, Light Workshops. Hal will make sure things are in order by lending stories about his latest passion, wine, and food. Yes, the man makes his own wine, incredible vintages that are growing more in popularity each new season. 

Lou Maggio – Travel Editor - Producer, entrepreneur, longtime friend of David. Having once owned his own modeling agency in Florida, where he met David, he has always had his finger on the pulse of knowing and working with beautiful and talented women. After giving up on the agency life, he worked as director of photography for Florida-based, VENUS swimwear for several years, traveling throughout Florida and the Caribbean on various photo shoots. Since leaving VENUS, he now works as a producer creating movies and TV shows with several produced, with others in current development. 

Samantha Mathias – Tech Editor. Yes, she’s also one of our MITMs, but there’s so much more to Sam than her beauty and sexy looks. Sam is into tech, from science fiction to science fact. She’s also the creator of remote tethered photography. During Covid, while wishing to model, she came up with a way for a model to set up a camera in a scene, then have the photographer via their computer take her photograph, even from another part of the world. A fantastic idea, which now has many models worldwide taking advantage of her idea and setup. More on that later.

Jeany Zhao – Automotive Editor - Jeany is one of the hottest looking car enthusiasts you’ll ever meet! But a serious one, so don’t let those looks fool you. Working with IMSA at races while also being a writer herself, she’s been published in the Porsche magazine, EXCELLENCE, and so much more. Entrepreneur is a best description, as she’s juggling several businesses constantly, while always finding time to exercise her cars at nearby racetracks. Jeany will be dropping by and sharing a few of her stories about cars and her involvement in motorsports, so keep an eye peeled for her.
