Age: 34
Birthplace: Hamilton, NJ
Education: University of Pennsylvania (BSE from Wharton)

Family: Yes, somehow I duped a beautiful, brilliant woman into thinking I was a catch. All I have to say is thank goodness women are less judgmental than men as time passes. :) We've also got three hilarious, endearing and downright awesome sons.
Years playing fantasy football: This will be my 14th year if memory serves.
Favorite FF smack talk: If you can't figure out who the chump is in your league, YOU ARE THE CHUMP.
Years writing about fantasy football: I'm pretty sure this is my ninth year doing stuff with Footballguys. Time flies. I know I've been doing this since before Chase Stuart's voice changed.
Favorite FBG feature: I probably should say the Player Spotlights since that's my baby these days. But I would probably opt for the Dominators (Draft, Projections, Data, Historical, Game Log).
Organized football experience: I have a long and storied history watching football. :)
Favorite NFL team: Philadelphia Eagles [season ticket holder]
Favorite college team: Colorado Buffaloes
Favorite fan moment: Easily when the Eagles won the NFC Championship game in a downright blizzard. It was a magical moment that, for a few brief minutes, made all the madness that is fandom worth it.
Favorite player of all time: It begins and ends with Reggie White.
NFL rule(s) I would change if I could: I would get rid of sudden death overtime, that's one place where college does it better.
Favorite movie(s): The Big Chill, Lord of the Rings trilogy, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Memento, The Matrix, Iron Man, Silverado
Favorite musical genres/albums/artists: 311, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Jay Z, Tribe Called Quest, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Nas
What I read: Anything and everything. I'm a voracious reader of novels, comic books, magazines, websites.
Hobbies: Fantasy sports, running, reading, podcasting, blogging
Favorite TV show(s): Deadwood, Battlestar Galactica, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Lost, The Unit
Least favorite household chore: Fixing the teleporter
