About Me

Hi there! I’m a lifelong storyteller who applies his obsession with stories by creating and developing products of all forms: prose literary fiction, tabletop games, interactive visual novels, adventure games, videos, learning experiences, and community campaigns. I really, really love words, and storytelling is my craft. I combine skillsets in game design, project management, narrative design, and leadership to make awesome products with teams of awesome people. As you can tell by my use of the word “awesome”, I’m also a Millennial.

My work is emotionally-driven because it is a universal language that connects us all, ignoring the barriers that seek to keep us divided. What do I mean by emotionally driven? I mean stories where characters argue, reflect, make decisions, and grow (for good or for bad) through action defined by powerful and uncomfortable feelings.

I’m obsessed with Final Fantasy, the Wheel of Time, Agatha Christie, boba, and cats. The world needs more cats.
