My fantasy journey began when I was a child and I would orient my baseball cards in proper positions and create games based on the stats on the cardbacks. In 1998, I found ESPN Games on the new internet and enjoyed daily salary-cap baseball and weekly football, along with pickem games. I was fully on board when they introduced rotisserie games (drafting unique rosters, rather than sharing players, and ranking by total category points), and again when Head to Head leagues were formed. I’ve been hooked ever since. It was in 2010, however, that I became a true degenerate. I joined a public GM simulation baseball league. There were 30 owners and each controlled a real-life franchise. I took over the Twins orphan and was suddenly staring at a spreadsheet with a roster of 250 players. The roster consisted of 25 players that would accrue daily stats, a 40 man roster with 15 reserves eligible for call-ups, and 4 full minor-league rosters. Players were salaried with each team having a different salary cap, and they were acquired through free agent bidding, a college player draft, and an international draft. The league was so immersion that it consumed me. Soon, that league played Yahoo Fantasy Football in the “offseason” and I found my first 2QB league. It was a revelation that leagues could have roster diversity beyond standard ESPN rosters. The baseball league had given me experience in auction style drafting, and year-over-year rostering and as soon as I began Dynasty Football, I started dominating. Shortly after I started in Dynasty, the Scott Fish Bowl came along, which provided a network, content jobs, and partnerships that have helped me carve out my niche in the Fantasy space.

I have been a Raiders fan since I was 9 years old. I have been waiting for the Raiders to win another Super Bowl since I was 11.I create Fantasy Football and NFL News content for Fantasy Sports Advice Network, Player Profiler, and The Undroppables/Uncovered.
