ABOUT THE BOOGIEMAN

I've been playing fantasy sports for about ten years now. When daily fantasy started making noise, I took a little peek over to see what the fuss was all about. I thought it was initially overrated, and that nothing could match the feeling and excitement of season-long fantasy leagues. Wow was I wrong.

One aspect that I initially undervalued was the drive of competition that DFS brings out in me. Finally! I found the perfect outlet to take advantage of all my sports knowledge and put it up against the rest of the world. Since the age of 6, I would take my grandpa's newspaper in the morning, and look over how players were doing around the league. There wasn't any NFL Redzone or MLB Extra Innings to rely on. Now fast forward 23 years, and here I am.

This is why I wanted to start Daily Boogie. All I ask is that you give us time to find our groove. We will do this together. We will learn together. We will grow together. We will dominate together.

WHY BOOGIE?

Many of you have asked to hear the story behind our logo choice. The name "Boogie" is actually a nickname I call my dog, Chance. He's a 4-year-old Frenchie that has been by my side every day through some turbulent times in my life, especially these past couple of years. While I don't want to get too deep into it, I promised you all full transparency, and I'm a man of my word. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2011. In April 2017 the disease flared up terribly and led to several other issues such as migraines, back spasms, body pains, and all kinds of inflammation throughout my body. I tried everything: PRP, stem cells, nerve blocks; you name it, I tried it.

I'm holding on to the belief that everything happens for a reason. It was because of this flare up that I turned to daily fantasy as an escape hatch from my everyday struggles. It was just me and Chance sitting on the couch every day trying to get better both in real life and in fantasy. Now several tournament takedowns and a seat to the World Fantasy Baseball Championship later… I'm looking forward to sharing what I've learned with the rest of you.
