Steven Burns

Founder

As a teacher and lifelong tabletop gamer, I’ve seen firsthand how games like Dungeons & Dragons spark creativity, teamwork, and confidence—both in the classroom and beyond. Level Up: Waukee grew from that same belief: that when people come together around the table, they build stories, skills, and friendships that last far longer than the game itself.
