My love for sports began over 40 years ago when I tuned into my first baseball game. Since then I have been a die hard fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and 76ers. Always having had a love of the numbers behind the game, I studied statistics at Lehigh University, graduating in 1991. Currently a math tutor, in my free time, I enjoy exercise, music, games and the great outdoors.
