I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons for over a decade, starting all the way back in high school when I taught myself and my friends how to play. Since then, I’ve helped many groups get their start in D&D and love to assist beginners in finding their footing.
I’ve also run numerous long-form campaigns for a few different groups, and have the experience to not only DM for more experienced players, but to adapt and customise the game to your preferences.
By day, I am a professional actor with a background in performance for camera and voice, so you better be ready for quirky NPCs with funny voices and outrageous over-the-top evil villain monologues.
If all that sounds like your cup of tea, then I’d love to create a story just for you! Thanks for reading about me, and I hope we can have a great adventure together!
How I conduct games
My favourite types of games are Theatre of the Mind with the occasional battle map for visual aid, but I've run all sorts of sessions from combat-light and roleplay-heavy campaigns to high lethality one-shots with tactical combat. I've also done some very loose, improv-heavy stories that give the players the freedom to really make a mess. I can run sessions in person and online, and I'm more than happy to learn new systems at the request of players. I love the Rule of Cool.
Dungeons & Dragons
Forge your own fantasy tale with Dungeons & Dragons. Create a party of brave heroes, outsmart traps, negotiate with dragons, and claim treasure in vibrant worlds. Imagine the camaraderie of The Lord of the Rings, but you decide the paths, the battles, and the conclusion.

Learn more about me
The NPC my players just won't part with…
was a Drow named Thrazz who was meant to be a caravan guard providing some background information, but ended up travelling into the future, becoming a God of Time, and preventing the apocalypse.
My proudest moment as a Game Master…
was when my players arrived in the Hells and were meant to be conscripted into the Blood War, but thanks to some very lucky rolls, they found themselves in the manager's office instead to file a complaint. What began as a joke evolved into a completely spontaneous decision to transform our version of the Hells from fire and brimstone into a comically beige, bureaucratic, office-themed nightmare.
My favourite thing to hear from a player is…
I have an idea! Having worked with many new players, nothing excites me more than seeing someone truly discover their character and seize the opportunity to join me in telling our story together.
