Greetings, fellow adventurers!     I'm a GM, a gamer, and I'm so excited to welcome you to my world. I am deeply passionate about creating inclusive and engaging learning environments, especially for children with sensory issues and those on the ASD spectrum. One of my special projects is the creation and facilitation of TTRPG & TTBG groups for youth. For the past 13 years, I have been starting and running these groups wherever I can, providing a safe and fun space for young adventurers to develop their social skills, creativity, and imagination.   I have professionally GM'd for team building and fun for the last 14 years, in the greater Bay Area.   For me gaming has always been an expression of human communication that defies definition. It is truly one of the finer ways to express yourself and move yourself closer to a higher understanding of the human condition. It's ability to move you through the full breadth of the scope of human emotions never ceases to amaze me.   When I'm not adventuring, you can find me sipping tea, getting lost in books, listening to the soothing sound of rain, or simply enjoying moments of silence. I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of my players, and I'm thrilled to share my expertise and experiences with you.   See you on the Trail...

GM style   I try.   As a game master, I weave tales of adventure and imagination, creating a rich tapestry of experiences for my players. In my world, the boundaries of reality blur, allowing the fantastical and the mundane to coexist seamlessly.   Every detail matters, from the way the sunlight dances on the crest of a distant mountain range to the intricate carvings adorning the hilt of a legendary sword. The players are immersed in a world that feels alive, a place where every decision carries weight and consequence. Consequences provide natural weight and value to my worlds.   Within my carefully crafted worlds, I encourage my players to explore, to interact with the environment, and to breathe life into their characters. I provide them with opportunities for meaningful choices, moral dilemmas, and personal growth. Their actions shape the story, and I adapt, seamlessly incorporating their decisions to keep the narrative flowing.   Imagination knows no bounds in my games. I delight in unexpected twists and turns, introducing elements that challenge the players' assumptions and force them to think creatively. A seemingly ordinary NPC may harbor a secret, an inconspicuous object may hold the key to unlocking a grand mystery, and alliances can be forged or shattered with a single word.   But above all, my style is collaborative. I value the input and ideas of my players, fostering a sense of shared storytelling. I listen attentively, incorporating their backstories and aspirations into the fabric of the world. Their characters' arcs intertwine with the overarching plot, and their personal victories and failures are celebrated or mourned together.   In the end, my GMing style is about creating an immersive and engaging experience that leaves a lasting impression. It's about evoking emotions, fostering creativity, and forging unforgettable memories. Together, we embark on a journey where the boundaries of reality are surpassed, and the power of imagination reigns supreme.
