Magic: The Gathering
(2021-Present)
For the last five years, I’ve been writing for Magic: The Gathering. My initial work was in a freelance capacity, contributing to the game’s story, but in 2022 I joined Magic’s Creative Text team. This team comes up with the names of each card as well as their flavor text (in-world pieces of writing that contextualize the game’s many cards.)
Each year, I work on a number of upcoming Magic sets to flesh out Magic’s many worlds and create an immersive experience for players of the world’s most popular trading card game. As a lifetime Magic player myself, the gig is a dream come true and I treat each new set as an opportunity to contribute to something with a massive international cultural footprint.

Who’s A Good Boy?(2025)
In June of 2025, I launched the crowdfunding campaign for my first game: Who’s A Good Boy? The Game Where Dogs Can Sin. In Who’s A Good Boy, players select a dog character and use sins and good deeds to bid on trait cards, figuring out whose dog is truly the goodest boy.
I co-created the game with my wife, animator and storyboard artist Julia Glassman (Rick & Morty, Solar Opposites, Adam Ruins Everything). With her art and my words Who’s A Good Boy made an immediate splash. The game was fully funded in less than two days with zero paid marketing and is currently eyeing a delivery window in early 2026.

Secret Lair: NOT A WOLF
Shortly after the release of I Am Not A Wolf, I was approached by Wizards of the Coast about creating a special set of cards for their ongoing Secret Lair series. These product drops take existing Magic: The Gathering cards and pair them with new art, creating a limited edition physical product for die hard fans of both the game and the creators they collaborate with.
For my drop, I was able to curate which cards we selected and which artists we worked with. In addition to that, I wrote art briefs and creative text for each card while also planning and executing a marketing campaign for the project.
The drop went live on June 24th, 2024 and sold out just two days into its three week availability window.
