Paul F.'s Bio

I got my official start in sports media in 1997. Before that, I used to write about sports on the internet at newsgroups like rec.sport.boxing.pro and various other fledgling sites.

Most of my recent media-related ventures have involved producing and directing web video. During the 2008 presidential primaries and general election campaign, I and/or my work was written-up/featured in or on: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, C-SPAN, The Hotline and a number of foreign news websites.

If you'd like to see more of my and my brother John's work, here are a few places to check out:

Take care, thanks for reading and I look forward to your feedback.

Hi Paul,
The US Open Draw is released. I've analyzed the Men's draw, in addition to the Top Ten players' form and recent performance, and made some projection in an unconventional way.
Check it out. I am sure you'll like it.
Thank you so much,

Paul,
It was a pleasure to read the piece, and I see you do very well on the site even though you have only 14 articles posted. Great work, keep it up. Maybe I can learn a thing or two about getting massive reads.

Cheers
