I was born and raised in the rural farm land of the Midwest (my nearest town had 100 people), and I moved to Minneapolis shortly after college.

My passions revolve around dogs (rescues and pit bulls; a rescued pit bull is best), craft beer, video games, and unique local food. To pay for my passions I "adult" in the world of Corporate Business (operations; accounting; finance; projects) while also dabbling in Leadership, and Event Coordination. Minneapolis has proven to be a great city for all of my passions and growth.

I have been gaming since I was 5, and fell in love with punishing fast paced video games. Recently I have been getting into more thematic games, and have been loving what I have been finding. Along with more thematic video games I have gotten into both board games (mostly euro-style resource management games) and table top RPGs (DnD 5e).

Let me know if you have a recommendation for a good game to check out!
