He is a certified registered locksmith, a former linguistics professor, and serves as lead pastor for a church in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia.

She fell in love with TTRPGs ever since playing her first D&D game as a teen, and became the local Storyteller and LARP organizer for Vampire: the Masquerade when World of Darkness stole her heart. Her interests include gaming of all sorts, hiking to mountain waterfalls, creative exploring, and laughing with friends.
