Jamey Stegmaier (he/him) runs the day-to-day operations of Stonemaier Games, located in St. Louis, Missouri. Jamey designed Viticulture, Euphoria, Scythe, Charterstone, Tapestry, Red Rising, Rolling Realms, Smitten, and Expeditions, and he has had a lifelong passion for playing and designing board games. He shares his insights, mistakes, and lessons learned on the Stonemaier Games blog.
Jamey grew up in Virginia playing games like chess, Scotland Yard, Labyrinth, Milles Bourne, poker, Risk, Key to the Kingdom, Monopoly, Magic, Stratego, Dragon Dice, and hearts (and designing games like these). He attended Washington University in St. Louis and studied abroad for a year in Kyoto. He currently lives in St. Louis with his girlfriend (Megan) and his two cats, Biddy and Walter. In addition to playing and designing games, his other hobbies include indoor rock climbing, reading, writing, blogging, watching movies and sports, and playing disc golf.
His passion for crowdfunding led him to write A Crowdfunder’s Strategy Guide, a book about crowdfunding, entrepreneurship, and putting customers’ needs before your own as you form a community.
