When the pandemic hit, Jay ran a yearlong online Avernus campaign for a bunch of us at work. I met fat friends there, and Jay’s insanely personal, thoughtful, and immersive DM’ing made it a profound and very entertaining experience. Four years later, one of the friends I made playing that campaign asked me to officiate their wedding, and we told everyone there we met exploring the first circle of hell with Jay. You could not ask for a better DM, nor one who better understands the power of games to bring people together.

I've had the privilege of having played in multiple games run by Jay. For him, it's not just a game, it's an experience, and he makes sure everyone is having the best experience possible. He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels like they are part of the game and engaged. There is never a main character in his games, you are all the main character. As stated in another comment, and I will echo the sentiment, his background in theater and voice work gives him the experience of bringing NPCs and Villains to life, and his story telling ability is top notch. The man loves the game and it shows.

As a beginner/fairly new player he made it really easy for me to feel just as bad ass as my other party members. I had a super fun time as felt just as cool as seasoned players. Great story telling and combat encounters. Our party had a fantastic time and Jay was wonderful!

If I won the lottery Jay would be on permanent retainer. The game he ran had 4 PCs with TTRPG experience ranging from decades to a near first timer, but play was smooth and fulfilling for everyone. I'm very excited to be able to play with Jay in the future. Can't say enough about his charisma bringing life to the NPCs, Jay's technical skills got us all set up remotely with ease, including art and music to help set the scenes. Lastly, Jay always seemed as excited to play with us as we were with him.

I have had the privilege to play in a number of Jay’s games and every time it’s exciting. He sets a standard that is approachable for new players while still giving veterans more than they could ask for. He’s creative and quick with improv. And his voices/accents bring a wonderful layer of immersion to the table. It makes everyone want to put more into their characters.

I have played in multiple campaigns of Jay's as well as DM'd alongside him, and he is among the most talented DMs out there. He cares deeply about player agency and he is extremely adept at creating inhabitable and immersive worlds. I have seen his games move people to tears and laughter in a single session. He also brings deep experience and knowledge of the game itself so you know you're getting the real deal. If you invest your time and energy in a game of Jay's you will be rewarded tenfold.
