About the host
Hosted by Jim Oglesby

I am originally from San Diego and have never left. It truly is America's finest city! I am married to my husband and we have 2 Border Collies, Maji & Blue. We love to travel and immerse ourselves in new cultures. When I am not working or playing with the pups I love to read and game! My favorite genre of both books and games is LIitRPG/RPG respectively. We are also active in our local LGBT community.
