What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

Theological who loves science, books, and music.

About Me:

I'm a Lutheran pastor living in rural Wisconsin for three churches in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I graduated with a degree in Music from Missouri Western State College. I then went on to seminary at Wartburg in Dubuque, IA (which happens to be the place where I was born...). I love sports, especially following the Kansas Jayhawks. I spend some of my free time playing MMOs like WoW, and have even been known to play D&D (really Pathfinder, but that's a little more specific than most people know. That's a little about me. I can't think of anything to say.....Oh! I have a cat. Thomas. He's orange. And thinking of things to get into.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more

Wendell Berry novels like Hanna Coulter, Jayber Crow, and That Distant Land, Star Wars novels (until the New Jedi Order came out. Hard to dwell in the second act of a play for many novels...) Harry Potter, Children of Men, the Works of Edgar Allen Poe, Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Polkinghorne, Star Wars, Ben Folds, Ben Folds Five, Mumford and Sons, The Airborne Toxic Event, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Beethoven, Bach, Holst, Copland, U2, Pearl Jam, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Stark Trek Deep Space 9, Dvorak, Firefly, Serenity, Michael Clayton, Inception, 50 First Dates, Mr. Deeds, Master and Commander, George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic, Eric Whitacre, XKCD, Blazing Saddles. Minnesota Vikings, Twins. I think that's more than I ever put in one of these lists.

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?

This grey golfer's cap that I got last December that Works. It just works.

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?

I'm not sure I've met her yet. Although, it's possible that I have.

When did you start watching the Vlogbrothers?
