I have had a long history of playing role-playing games since I was a young boy. I was enthralled with the vivid art, the opportunity for character building, and the chance to use my imagination with my friends and family.  As an educator, I hope to bring my understanding of story structure to our sessions even if I am not serving as the dungeon master I can be there to provide guidance. My theatrical experience in acting, directing, and screenwriting will contribute to an environment that is challenging and constructive.
