Jason Johnson

Jason is a fantasy football fanatic from the left side of the mitten state. His career in fantasy football began 17 years ago after coming home as an Army paratrooper and joining a league of school buddies in a 14-team, 2-QB league that's still going strong. Jason is a data-driven computer geek by trade, and a sports fan by birthright, and fantasy football is the sweet-spot nexus ‘tween the two. His hobbies include photography, disc golf, trivia, and Al Bundy-like reminiscing about his high school record 24 tackles in one, glorious game. He’s soon to be married to a wonderful woman who shares his love for the Lions and Tigers, and tolerates his geeklove of Star Wars and fantasy football.
