About

I've played fantasy football since elementary school with my older brothers and cousins. I had no idea what I was doing and was clearly the taco. They threw me into the deep end. We were playing with IDP's. Who introduces a kid to fantasy football with IDP's? Diabolical.

I actually remember my favorite player at the time for whatever reason was Eagles kicker David Akers. I repeat: David Akers. So of course I made him my 3rd-round pick. Other notable selections: taking Mike Vrabel in the 2nd round, and Tom Brady as the 1.01 the year after LT scored 28 TDs and was the most surefire 1.01 ever.

LT and before the tush push existed.

Thankfully by middle school, I started getting the hang of it and even became commissioner of my own league. I still remember walking around at recess collecting everyone's crinkled-up five dollar bill in a white envelope labeled "league pot" that I'd stash in my room. We'd do our drafts in the computer lab. And, my entire draft strategy was based off whatever I remembered from reading ESPN's fantasy football magazine in Barnes & Noble and what Matthew Berry said.

And all these years later, not much has changed. I still make the occasional taco pick, Mike Vrabel is still a dawg, and fantasy football remains a staple in my friend groups and family.

I love building websites on the side and for people to use. I decided to combine that back in 2023 with fantasy football. What you see here is a collection of things I wished existed, figured other people probably did too, and so I went out and built them.

I try my best to make each tool clean, simple, and easy to use. It's a labor of love, and I hope they help you enjoy this crazy, addicting, rollercoaster of a game a little more.

There's still a lot more I want to build in this space. If you'd like, you can drop your email and I'll keep you posted whenever I ship something cool.
