Get to Know Me Further
Hey! I grew up in Portland, OR and Northern California, and spent most of my time romping around those diverse landscapes with family and friends. Those people and adventures fed the love of shared storytelling that has branched through every phase of my career and most of my hobbies. When I close the laptop for the day, you can find me in gads of RPG campaigns, creating mixed-media stories, hiking, biking, cooking, or grinding what remains of my knees into dust on the volleyball court.
