While drinking water or tequila is a toss-up for Chancellor Rev. Marcus Zill (which in real life means he’s LCMS Director of Campus Ministry & LCMSU), he’ll devour anything that has New Mexican Green Chile, from a side dish to cheesecake. If you can track him down hiking far away from civilization, he may be wearing his favorite Tommy Bahama camp shirts, or he may tell you long stories about the ancient history and culture of the American Southwest. When he’s rejoined civilization, he may be smoking a fine cigar near a fire pit with his wife and two sons, or possibly listening to Twenty One Pilots on his fancy iPhone X (which will be obsolete in a year).
