I'm a 21st Century Renaissance Man. I have interests ranging from RPGs to anime, and from gardening to cooking.

My Gamer Resume provides a history of my gaming experiences, including the major RPGs I've played and run.

I also run an online game, Let's Play an Interesting RPG, where we play a different RPG every week.
