About This Site

I’ve been a lifelong gamer and an astronomer — I see the universe in everything I do.

Here I’ll be posting a collection of reviews, game night re-caps, and anything gaming I feel like writing about. I also create content for a YouTube channel, including videos where I connect astronomy and board games.
