bio incoming

I’m Jake I love collaborative storytelling, creative spontaneity and epic fantasy. D&D has been a passion for 30 years and it keeps getting more fun! I’ve been playing & coaching RPGs in schools since 2009 with kids of all ages in a variety of systems to explore history, mythology and literature. I like to play crunchy strategy games like Pandemic, 7 Wonders and XCOM. I also like fun sci-fi and fantasy books like Discworld and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Let’s roll some dice, tell some stories and share some laughs!

Born in Toronto, raised in New Jersey, with an International Business degree and MBA from Johnson & Wales. I’m a lifelong gamer, creature lover, and creative collaborator who has spent years running bedtime D&D-lite adventures with four cousins aged 5–12 — one d20, pure imagination, and the kind of forking-path choices that keep everyone leaning in. My cousin Avi has cerebral palsy, and watching tabletop become a genuine language of connection between us is exactly why this work matters to me. 4–5 editions of D&D; 3 years axe throwing coach with a self-designed DND-lite narrative board game.
