Older than Google and nearly as full of random facts, Adam has been playing D&D and running games for over fifteen years. He delights in both telling stories and helping others tell theirs, and D&D is a favorite outlet for this passion. A founding member of Bardwired, a D&D podcast, Adam also headed the rules committee of the Crucible of Fate, a D&D game show where he placed in the top fifteen contestants! A voracious reader originally from farming country in Wisconsin, he went full circle after moving to Chicago for work by promptly fleeing to rural New York, where he is enthusiastically starting out his own hobby farm and family (currently just his wife, their dog, and a groundhog squatter named Comfortable Doug). Despite his frequent and unfortunately ominous laugh, rest assured that he is not in fact plotting the demise of his players but only enjoying himself.
