About

I'm a board game designer, creator of Abandon All Artichokes, Starry Night Sky, Squabblin Goblins, …and then we died, and a bunch of prototypes in progress. I've spoken about game design and community building on podcasts and at PAX, SHUX, DreamHack, and Twitch Con. I'm also a science fiction author!

Previously a slinger of games at Mox Boarding House in Seattle.

Background

I attended Stanford University, eventually settling on a degree in Product Design (the fuzziest engineering degree I could get away with). In previous lives, I ran the marketing department for an indie video game company, organized events at the classiest pool joint in New York City, and brought together hundreds of designers to be inspired by one another as a community manager for Playcrafting.
