About me

I am a writer and narrative designer who creates compelling experiences for games and interactive stories of all kinds. I believe that storytelling is a universal and ancient human tradition that can provide a connection to our past, guidance for our present, and possibilities for our future. I am also a published author and an award-winning independent filmmaker. In 2012, I updated the out-of-print Ghostbusters tabletop role-playing game for a new generation of players, and used it to create the actual play podcast "Ghostbusters: Resurrection." When I'm not running games, I create podcasts, audio dramas, and screenplays for film and television.

GM Style

There are countless GMs who can guide you through another dungeon crawl. Do you crave something different? Something fresh? Me too. If you're ready to put away the battle mat and explore your character instead of the next rat-infested tavern basement, look no further. My expertise is providing a cinematic adventure with twists and turns that will propel you through an unforgettable story. Each session will be a bespoke gaming experience uniquely crafted for your group. I lean more RP-heavy, but there will be plenty of exciting action throughout. If you've had bad experiences before or are new to RPGs in general, have no fear! I'm also an LGBTQ+ accomplice who prioritizes safety first and fun second. Grab some friends (or prepare to meet new ones) and get ready to make some wondrous memories together.
