I got started GMing...

I grew up playing AD&D in the 80's and 90's, and took the role as DM/GM early on. In college, I became a specialist in digital graphics and web development, which is a useful skillset in the age of VTTs. I have recently been using FoundryVTT, and it has opened up a new world of creativity and fun!

JS's ideal table

I players who take role-playing seriously and want to engage in a detailed world, but also have a sense of humor. Characters are the focus of the story, their actions shape the environment. Often I adapt published adventures to fit my original setting, and write original material to tie it together.
