I am a huge fantasy sports fan who has also spent 15 years as a freelance sportswriter. I started with football in 2009 as a last-minute fill in and now play about 50 football leagues a year. I started baseball in 2012 as well and am considering other sports too. I'm married to my lovely wife and we have an adorable two-year old son who could be a starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. We make our home in the northern part of the Phoenix metropolitan area.
