Playing Dungeons & Dragons with my family has changed my life for the better.  I want to teach children how to play this game with their friends and family.  I am excited about finding ways to explore communication, math, creative writing, and problem solving through the mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons.

I’ve been a performer almost my whole life.  My professional career started with modeling at age five.  I have toured the world as a singer, and performed as an actor and musician all across the United States.  I left show business at at the age of twenty to pursue a career in restaurants.  I’ve been in the hospitality and food service industry for twenty years, the last fifteen of which were in management.  I’ve been everything from a Dishwasher to a Regional Manager.  A lot of my responsibilities as a manager involve coaching, training, and educating my teams.

Fostering a culture of respect, safety, and positivity is important to me, so I promote open and honest communication, tolerance, and curiosity.  I use fun and interactive tools to make my classes exciting and engaging.  I encourage learner participation, lead by example, and strive to make sure everyone leaves my classes eager to come back to learn more.

I put together a game of Dungeons & Dragons with my family that includes players spanning three generations.  We have been playing for a few years now, and the experience has made me realize that my life’s passion is teaching families about the benefits to be gained from this amazing hobby.  I cannot think of anything more exciting or fulfilling.
