Our Founder


The Product

The inspiration for NYF began a few years ago when I was asked to join six different fantasy sports leagues, two of them through Yahoo, two through ESPN, one through NFL.com, and another through CBS Sports. While I had the interest to play in each league, I did not look forward to the inconvenience of creating four different accounts, learning four different platforms, and becoming familiar with four different scoring settings. With that said, I declined half of the leagues therefore only participating in both of the Yahoo leagues and one of the ESPN leagues. I ended up winning two championships, let me rephrase that as a Vikings fan (put on my hat), Prepared2Kalil and YoAdrianIDidIt! walked away champions that fantasy sports season.

However, as much of a success that season was, I was disappointed in missing out on the opportunity to play with my friends in the other three leagues, not because I could have likely won each of those leagues, but because I missed out on the interaction with my friends in those leagues, no smack talk, no pride as a champion, and I was only left with camp fire stories to share about the leagues I was participating in.

As a result, the vision for NameYourFantasy was created, providing a website that would allow all fantasy sports enthusiasts to remain connected with one another. A live activity log notifying you of transactions, victories, defeats, and smack talk amongst all your friends teams and leagues. A website that provides a standard scoring system allowing you to compare your performance against your friends’, as well as your global performance amongst all other fantasy sports players allowing you the opportunity to win prizes. A one-stop-shop that offers all of your research, content, and analysis relative to fantasy sports. A fantasy sports powerhouse that will someday host a live and perhaps someday telecasted fantasy sports award show honoring the best fantasy sports players and professional athletes’ fantasy performances.

This was the start of something that will forever change fantasy sports!
