About Me
Freelance mercenary for hire. Creative rebel with a dice addiction and a storytelling habit impossible to break.
Storyteller. Game designer. Dungeon master. Artist. I wear many hats, but they all serve one purpose: creating experiences that stick with you long after you've left the table.
What I Do
Founder & Creative Director, Cerealbox Games. I set the creative vision, build the worlds, manage the brand, write the mechanics, and run the studio.
Live-Service TTRPG Designer. I don't just run modules; I design persistent worlds, seasonal storylines, custom progression loops, and battle passes for text-based live-service games.
Solo Game Studio Head. Icosacron is currently a "studio of one" that ships seasonal content, balance patches, and maintains a distinct house style.
Platform Architect / Lead Developer. Lead engineer of a TTRPG tech stack: custom Discord bot stack (Scribey, DiceBoy, CheckinBot) plus a suite of web-based character builders.
Artistic Journey
I draw, paint, sculpt, write, make media, and do graphic design, and I've never managed to pick just one. It started at six with a pencil, sketching fantastical worlds and card games onto paper. By 10, I crafted my first "novel," a silly little story about two warring factions of bugs that took place in a back yard.
Later, my love for the performing arts saw me taking center stage in plays like "Cinderella" and "Peter Pan," and exploring the world behind the camera in short films such as "Sin," "No Reception," and "Zealot," both as an actor and a director. My long-term love and obsession with board and card games inevitably led me into designing my own. Comics and novels also hold a special place in my heart.
Over time, I realized that while earning a living with these ideas is a novel idea, I really just want to produce fun content and experiences that make people happy. There's something different about sitting around a table with friends and sharing a laugh or stepping into a whole new world. I am currently working on a TTRPG rulebook, a novel, and a card game, with more in the pipeline.
Professional Path
Professionally, my path has been just as diverse. I've done freelance work in film, coding, photography, security, pest control, scriptwriting, technical management, branding, wedding grunt work, event coordination, world building, content strategy, and more, with a variety of startup clients, independent organizations, marketing agencies, and tech companies.
I've helped raise money for organizations such as the American Heart Association and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and participated in a variety of other charitable events and drives.
The through-line is problem-solving, detail work, and a decade in Photoshop making visuals for other people. Every contract and volunteer gig left a tool behind, and all of them come to the table with me.
