About me

I have a bachelors in Game Design from Full Sail University. I am interested in learning about various TTRPGs and incorporating new mechanics into my home games!

GM Style

I enjoy roleplay but, my real love is combat. I enjoy balancing encounters to pressure players to utilize their kits to the fullest.

As a DM, Jeff really took particular care in world building as each individual player’s characters fit right into the story playing out. Every place our party journeyed to was fleshed out with its own lore and fun NPCs. He was also very interested in feedback which made us feel included not only as our characters, but as players.

This man is legitimately singlehandedly showed me how much I love dungeons and dragons with such simplicity I barely even noticed he did it. His guidance has made DND become secondhand knowledge to me as his deep understanding makes it so he could literally teach a baby if he wanted to thanks to him I fell in love with DND and it has literally changed my life forever thank you Jeff and if you are reading this please please don't miss out on the experience of his sessions

Jeff is a DM with a true love for the format. He goes above and beyond for the people in his games, hearing out their concerns, challenges, and hopes for where their story goes. He's got a game design brain with skill at addressing play in motion with interesting and engaging developments. Definitely worth booking time to play at his table.

I would like to tell other plays that Jeff is very much a world builder and likes to build off of and actually incorporate part of our character backgrounds into what goes on. I think as a game designer he likes to put player experience first despite being mechanically inclined. Oh! And because he's a professional designer he has custom crafted some super cool classes and items that we get to use to try to break the game :)
