Justin DFW1 150x150 The Staff Jay Myers a.k.a. Jaysports – Founder and CEO As the founder and CEO of Dynasty Football Warehouse I eat, sleep and breathe fantasy football. After growing up playing basketball and football I’m so thankful to have this fun and silly passion which helps me stay sane by filling that void of competing head to head against others. My beautiful wife Katie is absolutely amazing, she is so supportive of DFW and my fantasy football addiction.  I have a 3-year-old daughter Addison and another on the way, and my family and friends are the only things that I enjoy more than this hobby. I’ve been playing this game since 2004 and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m currently in 10 dynasty leagues and 7 redrafts with more to come. I honestly can’t imagine DFW’s existence without my DFW brethren Dan and Jeff who are my managing partners.  Then our main staff writers Gino, Hosler, Chase, Skip and Richard.  Then our moderators TC, Dave, Jeff and Shawn.  We make it a point to have a lot of fun and I truly believe this is portrayed through our articles and forums making it a great experience for our members and readers who are the life-blood of our site. I want to take a moment to thank our contributors, members and readers for their continued support of DFW.  We promise to do our part to keep the quality content and the positive mojo in the forums going! Jeff Headshot Small The StaffJeff Melbostad a.k.a. Shamrock – Owner, Senior Writer, FSWA Member, IT Guy Born and bred in Minnesota I now live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my wife. It’s a struggle everyday living among Packer fans but it makes the rivalry that much more fun. I’m currently a software developer for a large banking corporation. I started with fantasy football as commissioner of my then 8 team redraft league in 1996. Since then I’ve tried almost every format of a fantasy football league but developed a love for dynasty above all. I still run my initial redraft league with close friends from 1996 along with two other dynasties. I also participate in 6 other dynos. Other hobbies I have include video games, basketball, and brewing beer (though I’ll admit I’m much better at drinking the beer than making it). dan 21 150x150 The Staff Dan Heins a.k.a. Burgandy –  Owner, Senior Writer, and The DFW Dish Out Co-host I was born in Rochester, MN and was raised in a small town near there, and after spending a few years in Colorado moved back to the Twin Cities to start a family.  I am a die-hard Vikings fan and love any sort of competitive sport.  I currently own and operate multiple Subway Sandwich Restaurants, have 2 children under the age of 4, and a wife of 8 years.  Needless to say, I keep EXTREMELY busy.  I started playing fantasy football in my good buddy Shamrock’s leagues when I was introduced to dynasty and have since dropped all my redraft leagues.  For fun, I stay competitive in mud runs, 5ks, and 10ks.  I play guitar and mainly just jam to any blues backing track I can find on YouTube.  While I am busy, my businesses allow me to do the thing that I love most, which is being an active and involved father to our two children.  They are the loves of my life and nothing would be worth doing without them… oh yeah. The Packers suck!

 

The Contributors

Cent for DFW 150x150 The Staff Dave Cherney a.k.a. RoadWarrior – Moderator, Writer, Twitter, and The DFW Dish Out Co-Host I am a self-employed I.T. geek and have been in the biz for over 25 years.  Played fantasy since 1992… you name it; Redraft, Dynasty Startup, Dynasty Adoption, Dynasty Contract / Salary Cap, IDP, Draftmaster’s, and Fantasy Throwdown. Co-host of DFW’s ‘Dish Out’ podcast with Dan (Phil) Heins which airs on Monday Nights at 7pm ET. I am an avid user of Twitter for football information and can be found in many Blog Talk Radio fantasy podcast chat rooms. Shawn BE 150x150 The Staff Shawn Gallagher a.k.a Bert and Ernie – Moderator and Writer Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, a lifelong suffering Cleveland sports fan has turned to fantasy sports to take his mind off of any disastrous “professional”   Cleveland teams.  A two sport fantasy “athlete”, Shawn has been playing fantasy football and baseball for well over a decade, you could call him the “Bo Jackson” or “Deion Sanders” of fantasy sports.  Because he isn’t able to turn his fantasy sports knowledge into a full time paying job (yet).  Shawn  teaches High school History and English, as a way of communicating with everyone else outside of our crazy fantasy world.  With a strong background in pop culture and music, Shawn also works occasionally as a DJ, where he tries to educate others on exactly what type of music to listen to as well, I guess it seems like he’s always trying to educate others at something Leo 150x150 The StaffLeo Paciga a.k.a FFHoudini – Staff Writer I’m a Baltimore native, but I’ve spent most of my life living in a small New England town not that far from the UCONN campus.  I started playing fantasy football way back in 1987 so I’m one of those dinosaurs that used Monday’s edition of the local paper, a pencil and a calculator to track league stats, scores and standings.  Somewhere along the way, I stumbled across this thing called the internet and realized there were a bunch of folks out there who enjoyed this hobby year round by playing some format called “dynasty fantasy football”.  I was instantly hooked and now find myself playing in over 30 dynasty leagues with folks from across the country.  I especially enjoy “rebuilds” – taking an abandoned team that some owner has run into the FF toilet, rebuilding it and achieving a level of success that the previous owner never thought possible.  When it comes to fantasy football, I’m a big believer in statistics and watching player film, but all the quantitative data is worthless without being able to listening to “your gut”.  I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful wife, who not only understands and supports my addiction to this crazy hobby, but she’s also won the Championship in our local redraft league – something she reminds me of constantly.
alan satterlee 150x150 The StaffAlan Satterlee a.k.a. Speedkills – Writer; Chief Editor/COO of FantasyFootballWarehouse.com Raised in Michigan, I now live in Charlotte, NC after previously living in Knoxville, Houston, a few different places in NJ and Seattle. I started playing fantasy football back in 1990 after picking up a Miller Lite “handbook for fantasy football” and drafting spontaneously with some of my relatives during the backyard wedding reception of my grandmother who re-married later in her life. This was well before the Internet of course and I fondly remember calculating stats by hand when the Monday newspaper came out, photocopying and mailing newsletters, and getting a second phone line so people could leave lineups and transaction requests. I was one of the first customers at the MFL league hosting site, before they were bought out by MFL actually. Before joining the team here at DFW/FFW, I was an owner and founder of DynastyRogues.com and have participated in the Fantasy Index magazine experts rankings and competition for several years with a fair amount of success. DFW.Kilroy.150.150.Pic  The StaffJoe Kilroy a.k.a. Kilroy – Staff Writer I began writing fantasy football articles back in 2006. The site I use to frequent noticed threads I had started on their forum that I wrote as “mini-articles” for people to comment on. They liked them so much that they asked me to come on board as one of their writers and I’ve been doing it ever since.I made the jump to DFW at the start of last season having come upon the site through the Interboard League (IBL) Challenge. The site had a great feel to it and I knew I wanted to be a part of it.I couldn’t be happier with having joined the crew here. The staff and members are a great group of people to work with and be around. I’m really excited to see how this place continues to grow in the years ahead. wood 150x150 The StaffWesley Wood a.k.a. Wood Chipper – Writer  My dad was in the Coast Guard so I ended up living all over the USA. I call Tennessee my home and am currently living in Norfolk, VA serving in the US Navy. Unlike some of the staff on DFW and FFW I have good taste in teams and am a major diehard fan of the Green Bay Packers. I have played fantasy football for over 7 years while not truly dominating until 4 years ago. Some of my hobbies include filmography, bowling, watching minor league games, and collecting foreign money.
