He is the developer of the software and the league commissioner.<br><br><em>I&#8217;ve been programming computers for about 40 years, ever since taking a job as a high school junior in a computer services bureau. It&#8217;s really all I know how to do. My interest in fantasy sports began as a statistical challenge, back in the early 90&#8217;s, and it was pretty easy to win leagues back then using nothing but a home-grown computer program. Nowadays, of course, winning requires a lot more research, but the bug was planted and I&#8217;ve been a fantasy groupie ever since, playing in football, basketball, baseball and hockey.Today I live in Oregon and manage leagues as a commissioner on DataForce, having retired from my work in IT. I have four wonderful grown kids and four grandkids spread around the nation.When it&#8217;s not football season I enjoy board games, traveling, studying first-century Christianity and piano.<\/em><\/td><td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dataforceff.com\/images\/leslie.jpg\" alt=\"Leslie\"><br>Leslie focuses on the administrative side of the business, creating, helping to fill, and implementing all of the leagues.<br><br><em>I grew up in Bergen County, NJ and have lived there most of my life.I worked in Manhattan, NY for several years as a typesetter for an advertising agency back in the day. I have had various positions over the years, typesetting and paste up positions as well as administrative duties. I became a full time caregiver to my husband who had a stroke from diabetic complications. He passed away in 2004.Lee and I married in October 2016. I enjoy biking, reading, traveling, fantasy football (duh!) and spending time with our families. I do some freelance usability testing of websites for functionality.
