Host & Creator of Crit Happens
He is a lifelong gamer with a strong love for immersive worlds and shared experiences. He spends a lot of time in Fortnite for fast, competitive chaos, Baldur’s Gate III for deep storytelling and meaningful choices, and Phasmophobia for its tense teamwork and atmosphere. He is a huge nerd at heart and enjoys getting lost in lore, systems, and the small details that make games feel alive.
Music plays a constant role in his life. His taste pulls from many genres and moods, shifting with the moment rather than sticking to a single style. If a song has energy or emotion, it earns a place in his rotation.
He is a first time Dungeon Master running his first full campaign. Learning how to guide players, manage rules, and build memorable moments has been both challenging and deeply rewarding for him. At his core, he values connection. He loves meeting new nerds, sharing stories, and building community around a shared love of games and tabletop storytelling.
