I have been playing fantasy sports for nearly my entire life and believe in the importance of data analysis leading you to victory. I began my sports writing career with my university newspaper and was eventually promoted to sports editor and was nominated for several awards such as Best Editorial piece by the Press Club of Long Island. In my content, I emphasize data and historical trends as it is the key to finding the edge in our competitions. By analyzing the data given to us, we can make informed decisions and in turn, become sharper fantasy players. I am also an accredited member of the FSWA.
