I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons for over a decade, starting all the way back in secondary 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 seasoned players, but also 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 fantastic adventure together!
How I conduct games
My favourite types of games are Theatre of the Mind, occasionally using a battle map for visual aid. I've run all sorts of sessions, from combat-light and roleplay-heavy campaigns to high-lethality one-shots featuring tactical combat. I've also facilitated some very loose, improv-heavy stories that allow players the freedom to really make a mess. I can run sessions both 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

Learn more about me
The NPC my players just won't part with…
was a Drow named Thrazz who was meant to be nothing more than 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 fortunate rolls, they found themselves in the manager's office instead to lodge a complaint. What began as a joke turned into a spontaneous decision to transform our version of the Hells from fire and brimstone into a comically beige, bureaucratic, office-themed nightmare.
The thing I love most to hear from a player is...
"I have an idea!" Having worked with numerous new players, nothing excites me more than witnessing someone truly discover their character and seize the opportunity to join me in crafting our story together.
