len's Bio

Let's see here, first off I'm a fantasy sports fanatic (football and March Madness) which just about killed any loyalty I had to sport teams except for the UConn Huskies. Uconn class of '00 and yes I literally took the road to the Final 4 down to Tampa from CT in '99 to watch UConn shock the world vs Duke. Current Rutgers MBA and NJ resident.

Founder of www.FantasySportsMadness.com, a new fantasy sports website offering fun, easy to play playoff-focused fantasy games for Football, Basketball, Baseball, and March Madness. The March Madness game especially is my favorite as you pick actual players in the tournament and is 10x more exciting than filling out brackets. Check it out!

I completely designed the website from scratch and wrote all text. All functionality to set up a league, pick players, get daily scoring is all there. It took over 2 years to develop but try finding free time with a full time job, wife, 2 kids under two years old, dog, and taking MBA classes.

I'm always interested in writers for new articles to post to the site or to offer suggestions. If you run your own fantasy sports website or have a blog, lets see how we can partner up. Give me a shout anytime.
