Our Amazing Staff!
Jennifer Hagaman, 22. I am more than thrilled to have started Neverender with my best friends! I have been a 'larper' since I was seven years old. I worked with a LARP in Rhinebeck N.Y. since 2006 teaching teenagers the ability to express themselves and play in a thriving creative environment. I have been extremely lucky to have the support of my friends and family in this endeavor and my goal is to reach out to teens and adults and create even more fantastic stories with them.
I have worked as a theater teacher, model and actress since 1999, as well as being a nanny for many years, I truly appreciate how special a community like this is. When I was 16 my parent's divorced and I had no outlet for any of the feelings I had about it. I joined a few LARPs and found that I had a voice, and developed m y unique and quirky point of view. I leaned that I shouldn't be afraid of foam swords and that even if I was playing 'evil' didn't necessarily make me bad. After all every villain is the hero of their own story.
I want to share my passion for play and self exploration in a safe and caring community, where your voice is heard and not thrown to the wayside. No one is just a number or a camper, but an individual with a strong and valid point of view. I will remember your names, and faces and treasure every game that we can play together. Whether young or old you are still a player in my eyes and can create a thriving vibrant culture.
At my first event a teacher said one of the most powerful things to me, which has shaped me into the woman I wanted to be at seven years old. I want to end with that powerful quote because I feel it is universal: "Never forget your own divinity."

James L. Nitzsche, 26, LARP and sword play has been in my life for going on fifteen years now. Not only has it been a great escape from the drudgery of everyday "Mundane" life, it has created a friendship and extended family base that I could not imagine being without. Creating Neverender has been a dream come true for me, to take my knowledge and the knowledge of my great colleagues to bring our vision to life is without a doubt the greatest honor of my life.
I have been cooking all of since before I can recall for vast amounts of people including weddings, parties, and even full LARPs. After high school I knew I would go off to college and hone my cooking skills to eventually become the chef I am today! I am so excited to see all of you and create Neverending (Yes pun intended) memories for years to come.
