About Your Host:

A walking encyclopedia. The undisputed master of trivia. A slightly more handsome Seth Rogen.

These are all phrases spoken about your Busboys and Poets Trivia host, Max Johansen. He’s played trivia on every continent and in every setting, from the polished podiums of Jeopardy! to the the no-holds barred underground Quiz Bowl circuit. If it’s a useless fact, he knows it, and he’s here to test your skills and reward the worthy with fabulous prizes!

Max grew up in South Florida, but moved to D.C. because he wanted to spend more money on rent and always feel not quite progressive enough. While not hosting Busboys and Poets Trivia, he teaches biology to youngsters in the summertime, and enjoys cooking, traveling, and hiking with his dog Fergus year round. His favorite author is R.A. Salvatore, and his favorite movie is Pulp Fiction, followed closely by The Usual Suspects and L.A. Confidential. He thinks Michael Pollan and Alton Brown can pretty much do no wrong.
