Brendan John “Beej” Dery is a friend and associate of LoadingReadyRun. He’s a member of Synaptic Chaos Theatre with Ian Horner. He attended Desert Bus for Hope 5 and made his first appearance in a weekly video in Forward Facing.

He edits the LRR wiki under the name tuxbeej.

During Desert Bus for Hope 7, Beej revealed that his nickname came about during his infancy. When he was first named, his older brother, then two years old, struggled to pronounce his real name, "Brendan." To compensate, Beej's father nicknamed him B.J. for his first and middle initials. This was later shortened to "Beej" by Beej's grandfather, and the name stuck as Beej himself grew older. He currently uses the nickname to recognize how people know him, as his professional colleagues know him as Brendan while his friends and family know him as Beej.

In 2013, Beej was co-host of the TopTech podcast, with two other friends of LoadingReadyRun Ian Horner and Johnny Blakeborough.
