Since-childhood gamemaster (many systems) looking to start a new 5th ed campaign

Greetings, programs. I’m a lifelong DM (forever?) in the Pacific Time Zone who has had a long background in countless face-to-face campaigns and a couple or three decent campaigns on Roll20 looking to get a new one going for the summer. I don’t so much jump into world-saving, Fellowship of the Ring epic questing. I’m more of an old schooler who indulges these days in simple pulp influences where the characters are looking either for hard fought riches, thrills, or both. But characters will feel the lingering effects of past wars and bad times as they enjoy the current Rennaissance the Kingdom is experiencing. At low level the players will explore their characters while they adventure, and through hooks and emergent gameplay eventually get into higher endeavors (perhaps that epic world saving questing stuff mentioned previously). My campaigns may vary from vanilla D&D, to high fantasy, to low fantasy, to grim and gritty. The style often changing from session to session. But it’s really all a backdrop for characters to develop. I use the same homebrew world I started as a kid, so I am of course well versed in the setting. Please respond with a PM. First take a look at my profile for much more info about me, and maybe give me at least a third of the level of info I present of myself there about yourself. I really won’t respond easily to something hollow such as “hey, I’m interested in your game. Thanks much.” If actually interested tell me a bit about yourself, time zone and age range, your experience or lack thereof with gaming, and maybe what you like or don’t like about past game experiences. Hell, if you want tell me your life story that’s fine. But there is so much flaking from the forums that I really want to vet anybody interested even before a Discord voice chat. Nothing disrespectful, but I hate wasted time and coming from a high-end financial management background I hate all waste, time as well as money. I want to know you a bit, and I hope you want to know me a bit, before that first game. In other words, it might be a week or two before an actual voice chat depending on many factors.  Hey, it’s a free campaign. I will never charge for gaming. So, some patience and expectation management would be greatly appreciated. We will all be in it together. That said, I know there are a lot of DM’s looking for players on the forums right now that you might want to impulse- jump into. But if you want in on a from-scratch campaign starting at level 1, and my verbiage on my profile appeals to you, let’s talk and maybe get together to forge some edge of your seat Dungeons and Dragons excitement! (Consult your doctor to determine if edge of your seat Dungeons and Dragons excitement is right for you) (if you have trouble PMing my Discord username is sixxpaxx)
as a player and DM, I love sessions that don't revolve just around combat. and, lately, i'm DM-ing curse of strahd every other saturday, and i've had trouble finding a game as a player because of that scheduling. i say those two things up front, because i love the roleplay stuff as well as the combat (sometimes, role play more than combat), and i've been playing semi-regularly (from every week to every other week) since 5e, after trying out some rpgs when i was younger but not having friends in my private-school circle that were interested. i'm born and raised in los angeles, married with adult children, and currently spending a lot of my "spare" time on videogames or a slow build of a homebrew world for future campaigns. i also have done several movie-related podcasts, and my day job i'm a communication studies instructor, so i spend a lot of time talking.
I'm interested in playing. I have added you on Discord so we can chat about it. Username is gargun99 Cheers
