about the groom

(Tad as Dirty Harry)

The Groom

The boring stuff:

Tad August Luedeke was born on January 4, 1987,
in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
He is the oldest of two and has lived in the same city in the same house
in the same bedroom for his entire life.
He will be graduating from Taylor University Fort Wayne this May
with a Bachelor's of Science in Organizational Management
(which is nothing more than a creative way of saying Business Administration).

Though the current economy has Tad comfortably resigning himself
to working at Subway or McDonald's to make ends meet, he has
tossed around the idea of pursuing graduate work in
Library Science.
Currently, he is active in Taylor Fort Wayne's student theatre, where he
directs, and as a Student Assistant at the Calvin H. English library, where he
shelves books, catalogs books, and
contributes to a photo archiving project.

Now, the fun stuff:
Tad has multiple hobbies. He enjoys movies, magic, drawing, reading, collecting toys, and, as of late, pursuing his goal of surviving through any circumstance.

Here he is, showing his Nerf collection, dressed as Rambo

And here he is dressed as a GI Joe:

And here he is dressed as a terrorist:

(This is not the extent of Tad's dress up collection)

Tad loves guns, knives and Bernard Cornwell. He is excitedly anticipating
this summer's blockbusters--GI Joe, Transformers 2 and Star Trek--and his
friends, Brad, Nate and LD, record Man V Wild every Monday so that Tad won't miss a thing.
People tell him he's exactly like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory,
but if you talk to him, he may not say much.

If Tad had a superpower, it would be invisibility. That way he could go about life unnoticed and unseen.
