About me
Hello there! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a lifelong game master, freelance RPG designer, and professional GM. With a passion for immersive storytelling, I have had the privilege of working with esteemed names like Wizards of the Coast, Paizo, Ulisses North America, Schwalb Entertainment, Kobold Press, Alligator Alley Entertainment, and Soldier Spy. My experience includes being a member of the D&D Guild Adepts and serving as the community manager for the D&D Adventurers League. One of my biggest passions lies in the captivating world of Dark Sun. As a die-hard fan, I founded the renowned Burnt World of Athas website (Athas.org), dedicated to exploring and celebrating the unique setting. Hailing from the deserts of Athas, or as some might call it, Phoenix, AZ, I draw inspiration from this sun-scorched realm and infuse it into my games. In addition to my professional endeavors, my personal life is filled with adventure. I reside in Phoenix, AZ, with my wonderful wife, two little adventurers who have already caught the RPG bug, and two beloved animal companions. I am excited to embark on new gaming journeys, create unforgettable stories, and share my love for tabletop roleplaying with you. Together, we'll traverse realms, conquer challenges, and weave tales that will linger in our memories for years to come. Let's embark on an incredible adventure together!
