I am a MASSIVE pop culture nerd! We will get along very well if you have opinions on any of the following points:

  • What actually happened to Luke Skywalker at the end of The Last Jedi.
  • Why Captain Picard is the best Starfleet captain, period.
  • Which is better sci-fi: Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, or Firefly?
  • Who actually is "the American" being held by the Russians at the end of Stranger Things S:3?
  • Who else is worthy enough to wield Mjölnir?
  • Why milling is my favorite Magic: The Gathering strategy.
  • How I somehow rolled a nat 20 to land my wife and kids.
