About FFToolbox.com

Jeff has been playing fantasy football since 1996 and founded FFToolbox.com in 1997. He grew up in Hartland, Wisconsin, lived in Northern Virgina for eight years, and now resides in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. He graduated from University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1998 with a degree in economics. His successes in fantasy football include winning the Dirty Dozen Experts League in both 2003 and 2005 -- the only two time winner in the league.

In 2008, he became a board member of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association.

I have played fantasy sports since 2001, specializing in fantasy football and baseball.

I wrote for FFToolbox from 2002-2005 before the demands of college became too great. I'm glad to be back.

I graduated from the University of Central Florida in June 2009. I got my degree in journalism. I hope I can use it to land a sports writing job for a newspaper or Web site. I now make my home in Long Beach, Calif.

While I grew up in California, my favorite football team has always been the New York Giants. I've been living a spoiled life lately in that aspect.

Favorite Team: New York J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets! One day they'll win another one. Lets just hope the drought isn't as long as for us Jets fans as it was for those Red Sox fans.

I've been a fantasy football nut for over 10 years. Whether defending my title, as is the case most years, or making my move to take back my championship trophy, I can't wait for each season to begin.

I worked for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League for 2 and a half years for the General Manager in the football operations office. I also did some scouting for them. I have been running my own fantasy football league, along with other sports pools for over 15 years.
Representing FFToolbox in the Expert Dynasty League
