Our dear friends, Kate Gates and Brendan Gates, will be hosting a celebratory grilling potluck at their home after the event. Please message me for details if you wish to join.

A huge thank you to everyone supporting my wife as an up-and-coming author! If you can’t make it to the event, but still wish to see us sometime between the 11-15th, please reach out to us. Cheerio!

Join local YA author M.P. Halliday for a discussion and signing for her debut YA novel, SkyBlue.

💙Don’t mind me—I’m just putting my slow-cooker on low so this romance has plenty of time to sizzle.

Tonight’s Grove Station event features 3 BBQ good trucks and a live band. Not ideal for playing board games, but still fun for other reasons. Butler is going to skip this one though…

It is official: all of my excess board games have sold!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to my business’s liquidation. You can gather your kin around your new board game and tell them the tale of a butler who rode off away from the sunset (because I’m heading East - get it?)

I think I’m ready for tomorrows sale. Let’s see how this goes…

05/11/2023

I’m teaching Photosynthesis and providing all sorts of green games to celebrate Spring. Join me from 5-9 PM in that Attic of the Provo Library!

04/28/2023

Want to play games and ring an actual building bell? 🔔

Join me tonight at the Provo Library’s Attic space to do both! From now until 9 :D

04/26/2023

Tomorrow is a magical day! Not only will the Butler be at Grove Station, but he will also be selling dozens of board games below retail price!

No, the Butler isn't going out of business, but he's staying lean and mean (in other words: why rent a storage unit if no one ever wants the games inside?)

Join me! https://fb.me/e/4JZOrKYNh

And look over this list to see what I have in store...

Sincerest apologies, but the Board Game Butler will be unable to join tonight’s Grove Station Game Night, due to unforeseen complications. Please forgive the inconvenience.

Shameless cross-promotion alert!

My wife finally signed her first publishing deal and I couldn’t be prouder!

Her book will debut in Spring 2024. If you like reading, you should follow her page and - I don’t know - buy a copy when it hits the shelves (or cloud)…
