I am a stay-at-home dad with a background in academic libraries. Gaming and writing are two of my major passions, but I also enjoy watching hockey, hiking and traveling. I currently live in the Nashville area.
By day, I’m a mild-mannered IT Manager with a slight attitude. By night I play guitar, board games, watch British TV, and actively avoid writing my next novel. My wife and I live near Raleigh, NC and are staff to five fine cats.
On any given day, I am a husband and father of five. I read obsessively and, occasionally, I write stories of varying length, quality, and metrical structure. As often as possible, I enjoy sitting down to the table for a game with friends and family. I’m happy to trumpet Everdell, in all its charm and glory, as the insurmountable favorite of my collection.
