I am a journalism/mass communication grad student at Cal State University, Northridge. I am aiming to be a sports reporter for a website, newspaper, magazine, anything. I received my undergrad diploma from the University of Central Florida. I make my home in Long Beach, Calif.

While I grew up in California, my favorite football team has always been the New York Giants.

Favorite Team: New York J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets! One day they'll win another one. Lets just hope the drought isn't as long as for us Jets fans as it was for those Red Sox fans.

I've been a fantasy football nut for over 15 years. Whether defending my title, as is the case most years, or making my move to take back my championship trophy, I can't wait for each season to begin.

I have been involved in sports all of my life, coaching and playing baseball and basketball.

After graduating McGill University, I worked for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League for close to three years as the assistant to the General Manager. I did a variety of things there including reviewing films and some scouting.

For the past 15 years I have been running my own fantasy football league as well as other sports pools.

I started out playing fantasy baseball in 1990 via binder paper and box scores, and have been playing various fantasy sports ever since.

I studied Journalism at Cal Poly before eventually switching to Philosophy, and have been interested in sports writing since I was a kid.

Niners are my team, I know... I know... don't be too harsh, things are painful enough right now.

I grew up in a racing family, and I spent my childhood at dirt tracks throughout Ohio and Kentucky. NASCAR became a passion of mine at an early age as well, and I have been following the sport ever since I can remember. While I earned my degree in journalism at Ohio State University, I began writing about NASCAR for several Web sites in 2005. I became head editor of the NASCAR section for Fanball.com and FantasyCup.com in 2008 and was a finalist for the Fantasy Sports Writer's Association NASCAR Writer of the Year in 2009. My knowledge of NASCAR stems from my lifelong love of the sport, and I believe that passion shows through in every article I write.

Eric has been playing and covering all forms of fantasy sports since 2008.

I have spent pretty much all my life in the finance industry and most recently as a second generation owner in a local mortgage firm. The only two other areas in my life I feel as passionate and knowledgeable towards are fishing and football. Growing up and still residing in Green bay I have been a hard core Packer fan all my life and in the last 10-12 years spent way too many hours obtaining sports knowledge and competing in fantasy leagues. I have decided that I would enjoy giving back to the sports community and hope to offer readers and followers sound advice that can aid in building successful teams and seasons.

“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” – Vince Lombardi

I have been involved in fantasy football since I was a kid. I remember picking teams with my neighborhood friends, and then going through the paper the next day to retrieve the stats to find out the winner for that current week. Since then, I have instilled my passion into very organized, successful leagues in which many I am the commissioner of.

Growing up in Green Bay, WI, football is a way of life. I can rattle off pretty much any player in the league and tell you their greatest strength/weakness. I love doing research on things I need greater knowledge on, and writing about things I feel I know about.

I am sure you can guess, but I am a Packer fan.

I graduated from Baylor University with a degree in English Literature. When not working, I spend my time reading and doing photography. I also enjoy seeing movies and going to concerts. In addition to my work here as editor, I am also a substitute teacher. My favorite sport is Soccer. My husband and I support Manchester United and LA Galaxy.
