I'm a game designer and freelance journalist and occasional traveller and all-around-busy family guy.
I've written for newspapers and local magazines, including the Valley News, our fine local paper, as well as The Burlington Free Press, Vermont's largest daily.

We took it to Boston FIG and PAX Unplugged, and it's really coming along. Last year I wrote a column called 'Role Selection' for the Boston-based games website The Cardboard Republic. I really enjoyed chatting with folks working and playing in the board game world.
