On this year's wish list are the following: basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, skateboards, RC cars, scarf and glove sets, picture frames, watches, bath gift sets, beading kits, hair combs, hats and sweatshirts, portable CD players, gift cards, movie passes, bedside lamps and radio/alarm clocks.
Born in Milwaukee and raised in the Milwaukee suburb of Brown Deer, Concordia University Wisconsin alumnus Poppe has spent the majority of his life in or around the city and county of Milwaukee.
As an advocate of Milwaukee's hip-hop community Poppe began popular local music blog Milwaukee UP in March 2010. Check out the archived entries here.
Though heavy on the hip-hop, Poppe writes about other genres of music and occasionally about food, culture or sports, and is always ready to show his pride in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
