INTRODUCTION

Nine years ago, I started a book series: my thoughts, my system something unique and useful in a sea of copycat content. I never thought it would evolve into the #1-selling Football book last summer for nearly a month on Amazon.

Not just Fantasy, were talking NFL here. The 2018 Fantasy Football Black Book was #1 over Tom Bradys TB12 and Nick Foles Cinderella story Believe It. Thats for one reason, and one reason alone: Fantasy players are coming back time and time again and having massive success with The Black Book Brand.

Theres no major media machine behind this series, no global SEO or advertising team. Its just high-quality content, wrapped in a revolutionary system thats easy to use and yields consistent high-end results. The proof is in the success of the product thats grown from a literal one-man show to a team effort over that time. Its the American Dream. My passion for fantasy sports as a career that can feed my family. There have been numerous lows and countless struggles along the way, but the ultimate success of The Black Book continues to make it all worth it, and every year the goal is to be better that the last one.
