When I first jumped into D&D as a player, it was with a bunch of complete strangers. Over countless sessions full of dangerous quests and heartfelt RP, these strangers have become my inseparable friends. As a dedicated STEM educator and fantasy enthusiast, I adore the collaborative storytelling, imaginative problem-solving, and roleplaying moments that D&D makes room for. I've been lucky enough to be a part of multiple long running campaigns with many creative and passionate individuals for the past several years, and by DMing, I aspire to share these experiences with new and old players alike! Everyone should have the chance to experience the same joy of finding new friends to embark on magical adventures with. Outside of DMing, you can find me trying my best to be a real-life Artificer, as I add to my long list of crafty hobbies by leatherworking, sewing, drawing, and crocheting my way through various projects! I’m always more than happy to talk about my D&D campaigns, show off my ever-growing dice collection, or share my latest crafty creation!

As a seasoned Dungeon Master with over 6 years of DMing experience, I've dedicated my passion to crafting immersive and unforgettable D&D adventures. Since my introduction to the game in 2006, I've been captivated by its ability to foster creativity, teamwork and enduring friendships. I thrive on the thrill of witnessing a players' imaginations take flight as they navigate challenging dungeons, overcome formidable foes and roleplay their way through social encounters. My goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where players can escape the ordinary and embark on extraordinary journeys together.

I'm Alex, and for as long as I can remember I've been storytelling. Even as a young kid I was making silly little movies with my friends during my free time. As I've gotten older, this love of storytelling has evolved into a love of writing and world building. This is what drew me to D&D a little over a year ago. Since my introduction to the game, I've dived in head first. I play as often as I can, I DM as often as I can, and when I'm not playing or DMing, I'm writing lore mysteries, and history for my players to jump into. However, I didn't fall in love with D&D just because of the storytelling, I fell in love with it because it gave my players a chance to feel like heroes. I've seen people come together through this game and form strong friendships in a matter of hours because the sense of community that comes from facing difficult problems together is second to none. I want to create a rich world where my players can express their creativity and build the world along with me. Most of all, I want to create a safe space where my players can express themselves without the worry of ridicule, bullying, or feeling silly. I want my players to be able to be their most honest self while their at my table. I've found that when players feel their most comfortable, their imagination takes flight, and together we tell truly incredible stories.

Growing up in the early 2000's, I've had the opportunity to spend hours enveloped by RPG games like WoW and Runescape, and puzzle solving adventures such as Legend of Zelda. I found the most enjoyment in overcoming challenges, or becoming immersed in rich worlds and characters. My passion for becoming a Dungeon Master Comes from wanting to create the same sense of excitement, Belonging, and imagination that I experienced growing up. My background in education has been a major asset for me working with younger players. Through my experience supporting students in classrooms and camp environments, I've learned how to adapt activities to different personalities, Exceptionalities, learning styles, and energy levels. I understand the value of an inclusive environment and strive not just to ensure the players are having fun, to ensure they're heard and engaged. Outside of gaming and being an educator, I've always loved sports and staying active. I enjoy the teamwork, communication, and energy that come from physical activity. And I try to bring that same enthusiasm into the groups I work with. I believe kids thrive when they're engaged, challenged and given opportunities to collaborate, whether that's on a sports field or round a Dungeons & Dragons table.

I’ve been a forever DM since 2022 and have been playing video games, especially RPGs, since I was about eight years old. I blend my passion for storytelling with good music and sound design to create immersive tabletop roleplaying experiences. My sessions focus on collaborative worldbuilding, inclusivity, and player agency. I’m all about creating living worlds where heroes rise, choices matter, and every roll shapes the story we tell together. As an educator, I’ve brought tabletop roleplaying into the classroom to support math, literacy, and social skills, inspiring students to learn through creativity and play. I also run afterschool programs and community games through Roll with Guidance, a branch of my work dedicated to learning, healing, and growth through TTRPGs. Whether guiding new adventurers or seasoned heroes, my goal as a DM is to create immersive, inclusive worlds where every player feels part of something epic.

With a background in acting and teaching, I took too TTRPG’s in late 2023 and finally ran my own one shot a year later. Subsequently that one-shot was then turned into a full campaign that is running still to this day. I’m an avid gamer and consumer of stories. From niche anime, popular cartoons to obscure short stories- all of this brings life, enthusiasm and creativity to the worlds I built, the NPC’s I play and the games I run. My goal is to be able to create a world and a game that my players have crafted alongside me. A world for my players to explore not only as their character but as themselves. From discovering why a floating city has declared themselves as the rulers of the continent, to the monstrous purple worms that call the battle-hardened deserts of the orc’s home. To a simple story about how acquiring the deed to a bakery will finally make your town whole again. Stories can be grand and I strive to get my players to ask questions about the world they could be inhabiting. At my table, I try to create a space that brings us into the moment and lets us all hangout together and at the end of the day- play a game. A fun environment where my players can do what we all want to do in the end- go on an adventure.
