Play. Build. Grow. Transform.

Games are powerful. I run them, design them, and use them to help people learn and work together.

Play

Grow

Practical ways to get better at the table, from running your first game to teaching others.

Transform

Workshops and facilitated play that give teams a way to practice working together.

Podcast

The Forever GMs Podcast

Liv and I talk with Game Masters and designers about what happens behind the screen, from improvisation to building encounters and using safety tools.

Character builder

Character Builder Apps

Make a Warlocks & Wormholes Lead or a G.R.O.K character and print a sheet for your table.

Four decades at the table

I started running games in 1985 and went pro in 1998. I’ve run more than 100 systems, from old-school D&D to indie story games. At Young Dragonslayers, I run games for kids and teens.

I bring improv, character voices, and a collaborative approach to every table. My favorite moment is when a player does something I never saw coming.
