Why I do this
I host because I genuinely love trivia—researching it, shaping it, and watching a room light up when a team finally lands on the right answer. The shows are built to feel classic (team debate, pen-and-paper energy, the satisfaction of getting one right) while still moving fast and staying fun.
Each night is a mix of curation and creation: I pull from widely known facts and reputable references, then craft questions that are clear, fair, and entertaining. I prioritize accuracy, avoid cheap trick wording, and keep subject matter inclusive so mixed-background teams can all contribute.
The goal is simple: you leave having laughed, learned something new, and already planning who to recruit for next time. Think long, think wrong. Trust your gut.
