Founder and co-owner, CEO, Lord High Commander

I am the founder and co-owner of Wolf Den Games. I’ve been interested in games and puzzles since childhood. I was an avid consumer of comic books through high school, but didn’t get into D&D until the Army. We played a lot of AD&D and Magic: The Gathering in the Army. I didn’t discover miniatures until buying the Warhammer 40k 5th edition starter set around 2010, but I’ve been hooked ever since.

My goal with Wolf Den Games is to bring the friendly local game store experience to my adopted home town of Abingdon. My wife and I decided that we wanted to raise our kids here fifteen years ago, and this is where I want to share my love of games.

Co-owner, CTO, Board Game Sommelier

I started out as a friend of Will’s and a huge fan of the shop. (Actually he was playing in the D&D campaign I was running at the time.) In May 2022 I came onboard as co-owner.

My prior careers range from software development in skyscraper offices to teaching choirs right here in Washington County, VA. I’m an “Xennial” who grew up in a family that celebrated classic card, word, and board games. My first RPG experience was Advanced D&D with middle school Boy Scout buddies.

In 2000 a game of Settlers of Catan introduced me to modern board games. I love hosting gaming events and parties — I get almost as much joy introducing others to games as I do actually playing them.

GM Coordinator, Praetor, Operations Sub-Manager Third Class

I have studied many different things, worked many different jobs, and have always had a lot of intersectional interests. I haven’t ever been involved with anything this fun or rewarding as my work at Wolf Den Games.

Working as a GM is an incredible passion and pleasure, and is a rewarding creativity outlet. There’s nothing quite like cooperating with other creative people to craft a story together. I ran the first subscription game at Wolf Den in the spring of 2022.

In Fall 2023 I was thrilled to step up to the plate as a full- time employee of the shop, running RPGs and coordinating our professional GMs. I love to foster our amazing community, and grow in my own knowledge and skill to help Wolf Den Games live long and prosper.

Expertise: D&D 5e, Customer Experience, Storytelling, World-Building, an encyclopedic knowledge of random facts.

Likes to GM: D&D 5e, Powered by the Apocalypse style games, and games set in or inspired by historical content.
