About me
I’m a disabled veteran, and I found Dungeons & Dragons during one of the hardest chapters of my life. It started as a way to escape, but quickly became something so much more. D&D helped me process trauma, reconnect with creativity, and, most importantly, build lasting friendships in a space where I felt safe and seen. Becoming a Dungeon Master wasn’t just about telling stories—it was about creating a space where others could heal, grow, and belong too. I know how powerful this game can be, especially for those who feel isolated, overwhelmed, or like they don’t quite fit in. Now, I run welcoming, beginner-friendly games that focus on collaboration, creativity, and kindness. Whether you're brand new to the game or just need a place to roll some dice and breathe for a bit—you’re welcome at my table.
GM Style
My games focus on fun, immersion, and empowering players to be the heroes of their own epic story. I love weaving narrative threads with your character’s goals, choices, and backstory at the center—so your actions feel like they truly shape the world around you. I strike a balance between Rules as Written for fairness and structure, and the Rule of Cool for those moments when bending the rules just makes everything more exciting. Expect engaging roleplay, dynamic combat, and high-stakes decisions that push your character to grow and shine. Whether you’re here for dramatic moments, thrilling fights, clever plans, or a bit of everything, I’ll work with you to make each session feel meaningful, rewarding, and full of adventure. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to help you have a great time and tell an awesome story together.
