My name is Nathan Pralle, and I am a 30-something man living in the quiet rural hinterlands of north-central Iowa. I am a personal and professional computer geek, which means that I not only make the world spin by administering and programming computers for a living, but in my spare time I am often hock-deep in Cat-5 and sticks of RAM. Ever since a young age computing has simply ‘clicked’ with me in ways that very few other things have. I figured making it a profession wasn’t a bad idea, and it has turned out well so far.
I am more than a computer geek, however. I am a husband to a wonderful Australian woman named Yolanda. I am the ever-grateful father to a beautiful son named Keston. I am a blogger and thoroughly enjoy interacting with other writers. I Tweet and have quite a few Twitter-based friends. I am a singer, both in choral groups as a second tenor and in the barbershop style as a baritone. I play the tuba fairly well. I like to think of myself as an armchair philosopher with a fierce passion for it but little time for long, drawn-out thoughts. I have a green thumb. I am good at construction work.
Most of all, I’m trying to be a better person in every manner as I learn how. I guess that’s my best accomplishment — and my most daunting challenge.
