I got started playing MU*s back in high school, first on an old-school DIKUMUD called Dark Castle, and then transitioning over to Wheel of Time RP MUDs, starting with The Weave, and then really hitting my stride with A Moment in Tyme. After 13 years on RP MUDs, I was convinced to try out a MUSH, Cuendillar, and never really looked back.

In time, I transitioned over to Star Wars games, L&L games, and the game I created with my wife (who I met on a Star Wars game) that combined the two genres a bit: The Fifth World. However, Real Life always interferes, and although we have run several games together, each time a life event (most recently and irretrievably, the birth of our child) has interrupted our available time.

I help run a one-screen family movie theatre, write freelance advertising copy, and design RPG systems in my spare time (I’ve been a game designer and writer for tabletop and computer games in the past).
