Dr. Dov Nelkin

As you might have noticed, many of our t-shirt descriptions have recently undergone a face lift. After seeing Dov’s quick wit and humor in one of our online contests, we thought you might enjoy a little bit of his spice added to our product descriptions. For more of his daily wit (and sometimes wisdom), you can follow Dov on Twitter.

Dov’s path to geekdom began with an original IBM PC he inherited when he was 9 years old, but most of his professional life has been spent in other fields. He graduated magna cum laude from Brown University with majors in English lit and religious studies, back when NCSA Mosaic was the browser of choice and OS/2 was a viable operating system. Just for fun (this was Brown, after all), Dov took the majors’ classes in Computer Science, Econ, Neuro, and, his geeky favorite: Engineering.

Dov then earned his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia, focusing on Bioethics and comparative religious thought and ethics. He has taught undergrad classes (at UVA, Mary Washington, Rutgers), given lectures to physicians, and has served on the editorial boards of several academic journals, including the Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics and the Journal of the Society for Scriptural Reasoning, and served as a founding board member of an academic organization, the Society of Jewish Ethics.

Nowadays, Dov spends most of his time teaching Talmud and Tanakh to students at the high-tech Heschel high school in New York City or relaxing with his wife and three children. He also does freelance writing/editing on topics ranging from technology to religion, and is available to provide lectures on these topics (especially medical ethics) for any educational level.

If you are looking for well-written articles, need someone to write unique blog entries for your website, or want someone to edit and spice up your ad copy, Dov is an eclectic geek for hire. He works really quickly and isn’t satisfied until you are satisfied. You can contact @DrNelk on twitter or at doctor.dov@gmail.com.

We certainly love the work he has done for us!
