A bit about me

I am a hardworking force in the industry, looking to build meaningful professional relationships and spread joy.

I studied Theatre at Pennsylvania State University and spent fifteen years working on stage as an actor, director, and playwright. Since then, I have applied everything I learned in the theatre to writing and running unforgettable tabletop roleplaying games.

I have written for amazing publishers on well-known, successful franchises like Fallout, Dark Matter, and Cthulhu Mythos Sagas.

I have self-published several best-selling Dungeons & Dragons adventures lauded for their innovative narrative design and accessibility to new players.

I have imagined, produced, and run multiple popular actual play series for film/television actors and top live-streaming talent.

I have launched an in-demand private Gamemaster service, where I pour my heart and soul into creating the best roleplay gaming experience for my clients.

Stories matter to me a lot. People matter more. I thrive on collaboration and fostering relationships built on mutual respect and kindness.
