"Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."

Hobbies

  • An ever growing board game collection. One day, something large enough so that it could be considered a library.
  • Resin and Filament 3D Printing. Between making miniatures for D&D and mor function prints (such as mounts and piano repair tools), I've cut out a fair bit of work for myself.
  • Quidditch. For those who don't know the workings of Harry Potter, this is the sport they play in the novels and movies. While at college, I played for the varsity team as the Seeker (the one who chases the golden sphere called the snitch)
  • Soccer needs less explanation, but something I have played since I can remember. Typically playing midfield, but really anywhere except goalie. Please don't put me there.
  • Dice Making to go along side my D&D adventures. Still working on the art of first 3D printing the original dice and the mold process, but I have several successful set completed.
