What game(s) have you played recently?: In December of 2016, I designed, organized, and umpired a free Kriegspiel inspired by a wargame run by the British Army in 1907.

Personal Interests (favorite activities, movies, shows, books, music, etc.): My great passion is the promotion of interactive learning methods within military organizations and, in particular, the US Marine Corps.
