Before devoting myself fully to dice-based reality distortion, I spent 20 years working in the Chicago film industry, learning to tell stories, manage chaos, and solve problems at 3 in the morning.

I’m now studying to become a special education teacher, which means I’m professionally trained in patience, creative problem-solving, and explaining the same rule twelve different ways until it finally makes sense.

I believe the best systems disappear into play, leaving behind shared stories, dramatic failures, and friends arguing passionately about fictional events like they actually mattered, because they do.
