The Tabletop Strategist dream was founded in the Orlando, Florida, area in 2025 by Jonathan Walters. 

Jonathan is a Florida born life-long strategy board gamer, lover of history, and tabletop gaming grognard. and brings his passion for gaming to his home of central Florida. After serving in both the pre and post-9/11 US Army as an infantryman and intel analyst, he always had a dream to create a space where wargamers could find and play their favorite games while also meeting and making lifelong friends in the hobby. The Tabletop Strategist web store is the beginning of this dream becoming a reality!

As a side note, Jonathan was born and raised in the Daytona Beach area and is a UCF alum (go Knights!) with a BA in history, and a Rollins alum (go Tars!) with an MBA from the Crummer School of Business. He resides in the area with his wife and three girls.
