At Imperial Terrain, we’re privileged to have a leader who’s not only passionate about tabletop gaming but also possesses deep knowledge of engineering and design. Meet John, our Chief Terrain Architect, whose vision and expertise have been instrumental in making Imperial Terrain what it is today.

John’s lifelong fascination with creating miniature worlds began in his childhood days, where he spent countless hours building models, painting miniatures, and creating terrain. As he grew older, his passion for the tabletop evolved into a deeper interest in wargaming, gradually moving toward building professional terrain while supporting his family’s model railroad business and delivering model railroads around the country with his father.

Today, John’s love for creating immersive tabletop experiences has continued to drive his work at Imperial Terrain. With a background in 3D design and engineering and a BS, MS, and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, John brings a unique blend of technical expertise and creative vision to his role.

For John, it’s not just about creating beautiful terrain—it’s about elevating the gaming experience and transporting players to another world. He wants players to lose themselves in the worlds he creates, to tell their stories through the battles they fight, and to share their imagination with others.
