Who Am I?

Remember that Jackie Chan movie "Who Am I?"?

Anyway, I am Erick Horrmann. No surprise, I'm a Christian. To steal from dc Talk, I'm a "Jesus Freak," and I love it!

Born in Seoul, South Korea (and no, I'm not from North Korea. Everyone always manages to ask me that when I tell them I'm from "Korea"), I was adopted at the age of 13 months and have lived in South Minneapolis, MN since then (and yes, I'm actually from Minneapolis. Everyone manages to think that I'm from a suburb when I say "Minneapolis" and not a suburb ... interesting).

I was raised Lutheran (Missouri Synod represent!) in a very traditional church (Holy Cross Lutheran).

It means a lot to me as it is where my paternal-grandmother went to church as an adult and also where my dad grew-up going to church. Hymns, memorized liturgy, organs, choirs, etc. all make me feel like I'm in a holy place and that I'm "home."

I attended public schools until the start of 6th grade (when I started private Christian school). Graduated high school somewhere in the middle of my class of 126 students at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis.

I moved on to attend the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire for 5 1/2 years where I pursued a Print/Broadcast Journalism major and a Psychology major (journalism for the first 3 years and then I switched to psychology) and an Information Systems minor.

There I was actively involved with Campus Crusade for Christ and found myself traveling across the country and across the world to spread the Gospel and share it with college students in Eau Claire, WI; North Myrtle Beach, SC; and parts of Eastern Asia.

I also found myself actively involved with the worship band for our weekly meetings we had for "CRU." I was a part of the team as the bass player for a year and then went on to be the team leader for a year playing guitar and singing. Worship is amazing, and it is one of the few things on earth that I believe give us a very small glimps of what we will be doing in Heaven.


The rest is just details, and you know what they say, "the devil is in the details" ... or is it "God is in the details?" I think I've heard it both ways ... but I'm using the former in this case. If you want to know the details however, then God IS in the details and I would be happy to give you more as you seek it.
