About me

I'm a father, husband, and U.S. Army veteran who's been playing TTRPGs since I was introduced to AD&D at age 10. I started DMing at 12 and got serious at 16, mainly running World of Darkness games. While in the Army, I continued running WoD and explored D&D 3/3.5e. Since 2022, I’ve been running 5e and currently serve as an in-house DM for a weekly game at my local game store. I love storytelling and giving the players agency with their actions and decisions making a real impact in the world.

GM Style

I am not your enemy. I am your partner and ally. It is my job to provide you with an enjoyable narrative that you and your character interact with. This is our world that we are uncovering together. So let us go forth and discover forgotten ruins, dine amongst royals, defend the helpless, fight a dragon or two, and get into countless shenanigans in the times between. Beginners, Veterans, Families, and Friend groups are all welcome. So whether you are looking for a week to week classic dungeon crawl with death, riddles, and treasure or looking for a long-term story driven, group narrative with large overarching storylines, intricate webs of mystery, deceit, romance, and manipulation that, while seemingly unrelated at first intertwine to reveal the truth and the larger picture.
