West Philadelphia (well, Lower Merion, to be exact), born and raised, in Jewish day school is where I spent most of my days. Graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, in May 2010, currently living in Washington, D.C., and working for an e-commerce company in the area. I’m an avid sports fan who religiously follows the Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers… but hockey was my first love. I can also tell you where 9 out of every 10 NFL players went to college (no, really), but I can’t tell you why it’s that kind of useless information that sticks in my brain. It’s weird, fascinating, and idiot savant-like. I also work as a contributor to SBNation (http://philly.sbnation.com/authors/dan-klausner).
