Former Opera Singer turned executive at a public service consulting firm focusing on affordable housing and community development, I has always found a way to involve myself in a wide variety of creative projects. Since turning my attention to gaming as a way to bond with my young son during COVID, I’ve created unique games that have placed highly in multiple different design contests on BoardGameGeek. My favorite games to play and design are replayable, thinky puzzlers that are short but require smart strategies to complete, almost exclusively with cards only. I was born in California in the San Francisco Bay Area, and after moving across the country to pursue singing, I found himself settling in central New Jersey with my wife and two sons.
Feel free to contact me with questions about my games, or if you live in New Jersey and want to playtest one of my designs in development or play a game sometime. I play backgammon twice a month with the Backgammon Club of New Jersey and I’m on the lookout for people to play my innovative version of American Mah Jongg known as “Card Free American Mah Jongg”.
