My Story
I’ve been in love with tabletop gaming for over 40 years. My love started with family board games and then bloomed when I was introduced to Dungeons & Dragons when I was in the third grade.
My professional career began when I started doing editing and writing for Shadowrun 3rd Edition. This morphed into an invitation to be part of the Shadowrun 4E design team, and then founding my own company, Posthuman Studios, with industry veterans Rob Boyle, Adam Jury, Jack Graham and Davidson Cole.
Posthuman is mostly known for Eclipse Phase, which won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Game and ENnie awards for writing, art and product of the year.
I’ve also taught the basics of tabletop design and a course on the cultural history of games at the college level.
Most recently I worked for a private lab that used games as a major way to engage youth to improve learning and well-being outcomes.
“The Jolliest Indoor Games for boys and girls demand a floor, and the home that has no floor upon which games may be played falls so far short of happiness.”
H.G. Welles, Floor Games (1911)
