Hans Boersma

Hans Boersma was born in the Netherlands and currently teaches at Nashotah House in Wisconsin, where he holds the Saint Benedict Servants of Christ Chair in Ascetical Theology. He generally hates movies as “most of them warp our character – but I do think Babette’s Feast is pretty good.” Hans has a golden retriever called Penny (5 months old), a joint project he’s recently taken on with his youngest son and daughter. He doesn’t really have a favorite smell “though the smell of pot roast on an empty stomach is pretty powerful.” His first job was teaching 2nd grade and when not at work he likes to read and write theology and “Apart from walking and training Penny, I don’t really have other hobbies.”
