You Should Know: Joe Sumner

by Christie Grimm · March 14, 2016

A man of many interests, Joe Sumner has enjoyed quite the fun ride. Touring with his band Fiction Plane. Creating video based apps like Vyclone, and Weev, the latter of which he worked on with close friend Stephen Moyer. Add in an english accent, and ridiculously sweet demeanor, and this entrepreneurial rockstar seems to have it all.
