About me
I’m a U.S. Air Force veteran who discovered the world of TTRPGs 11 years ago thanks to a good friend and I was hooked from the very first session. There’s something truly magical about the limitless storytelling possibilities these games offer, bound only by imagination. What I love most about TTRPGs is the collaborative storytelling: creating unforgettable moments with friends that you’ll talk about for years to come. I’ve been lucky to have an incredible group of friends who encouraged me to try GMing, and I’ve been behind the screen for the past four years now. It’s been an amazing journey getting to craft stories and share in the excitement, laughter, and drama that come from great tabletop adventures. While I spent many years immersed in D&D 5E, I’ve recently fallen in love with Fabula Ultima, a lesser known system that’s captured my imagination in new and exciting ways. Thanks for taking the time to read a bit about me and my passion for this hobby I’m always excited to meet others who love storytelling just as much as I do.
