About me

Hi, and thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me! I'm an indie game developer with a deep passion for history, storytelling, and the immersive power of games—whether they're on a screen or around a table. My tabletop journey began back in university, where a close-knit group of friends and I would take turns running one-shot adventures. After graduation, I joined the Canadian Armed Forces, and during that time tabletop games remained a cornerstone of my life. I often ran games with fellow officers as a way to have fun while passing the time. After completing my service, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream and went back to school to study video game development. That experience allowed me to sharpen my understanding of game mechanics, player engagement, and interactive narrative design. I’ve since worked on a range of projects, from board games to digital games, always with a focus on finding fresh, compelling ways to tell stories. Throughout it all, TTRPGs have remained a constant passion. I've had the privilege of playing and GMing in a variety of systems, often collaborating with fellow designers and storytellers to explore new mechanics and worldbuilding techniques. I love experimenting with ways to make player choices more meaningful and to weave character arcs seamlessly into the broader narrative.

GM Style

My games offer a balanced blend of immersive roleplay and dynamic, engaging combat. I tailor each campaign to reflect the goals, motivations, and personalities of the party, ensuring that every session feels meaningful and player-driven. Whether your group thrives on intense character drama, strategic combat encounters, or rich world exploration, I work to bring those elements to the forefront. At the heart of my GMing is storytelling that empowers player agency. I design narratives that invite your characters to shape the world around them—whether through decisive choices, unexpected consequences, or emotionally charged character arcs. I enjoy crafting story developments that surprise without derailing, and I aim to balance the expected with the unexpected, giving players both a sense of structure and room to experiment. Character development and narrative pacing are my cornerstones. I give players space to grow their characters organically, offering opportunities for both heroic triumphs and tragic downfalls. These moments aren’t scripted—they emerge through the choices you make and the relationships you build. Expect games where your backstory matters, your choices echo, and the world responds to who you are and what you do. Whether you’re seeking heartfelt roleplay, thrilling challenges, or unforgettable plot twists, I’ll work to create a world where your character’s story truly matters.
