Van is a sportswriter whose column has been featured by USA Today, Yahoo, and a few other major media websites. The photo is mine--he looks so disarming in an apron. The following is his own description of himself:
Just your average 2.03 meter carbon-based life-form, Van has a virtually useless Master's Degree in English Literature and a well-worn Fender Stratocaster. He currently teaches English at a Korean university and plays guitar whenever his schedule allows. When he's not ranting and raving about whatever currently ails him, he spends quality time with his wife and dog.

and writes about themes in such a compelling manner that you would agree with him by the end of the post.
