Paul Charchian, LeagueSafe.com
 

Paul Charchian was the co-founder of Fanball.com, one of the largest pure-play fantasy sites on the internet. In his 14 years at Fanball, he helped grow the company from a handful of part-time enthusiasts in his apartment to 80 employees spanning offices in three cities. He published over 200 issues of Fantasy Football Weekly, making him one of the most-read authors in the field. While with Fanball, Charchian acted as the lead designer on over 25 web-based fantasy applications, many of which are still in use at NASCAR.com, AOL.com, Fanball.com, PGA.com, Best Buy.com and many others.

Through his radio program, Charchian interacts with thousands of fantasy sports players each year. He reaches a national audience through his regular appearances on Fox Sports Radio, Sporting News Radio and ESPN television. It’s distinctly possible that nobody has interacted with more fantasy players than Charchian.

When Fanball started in 1993, fantasy sports was in its infancy. Only a handful of people were making a living in the industry. Almost none of them remain. Charchian's industry experience is equaled by less than a half-dozen people.

Presently, Charchian is the president of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, the industry’s largest advocacy organization, with over 100 member companies. He owns Charch Media, an online fantasy game development group. His newest venture is LeagueSafe.com, a fantasy league finance management service.

   
Bo Mitchell, FoxSportsNorth.com
 

Bo Mitchell is a Twin Cities native and lifelong Vikings and Twins fan who has been playing fantasy sports since the 1980s. He has been working in the fantasy sports industry since 1995, when he first began writing for "Fantasy Football Weekly," the most acclaimed magazine of its kind in the industry's history. When the FFW crew launched the web site Fanball.com in 1999, Bo joined as a full-time writer. He later ascended to the level of Publisher, helping establish Fanball.com as the most popular and most visited pure-play fantasy sports site on the web and transforming their award-winning magazines into an industry staple.

Bo went to FantasyFootballChamps.com from Fanball following the 2007 season and was their Publisher for two seasons. In 2010, Bo began writing for FoxSportsNorth.com.
He has also worked as a writer for Inside Edge Baseball Scouting Services and his writing has appeared on such sites as AOL.com, Yahoo.com, and ESPN.com. He even appeared as a guest expert commentator in the book, "Fantasy Football for Dummies."

Bo’s KFAN roots go back to the early 1990s, when he worked for the station as a producer for such hosts as “The Common Man” Dan Cole, Michele Tafoya, Mike Woodley, and David Brauer. A member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, Bo has been a part of the very popular Fantasy Football Weekly radio show on KFAN since the 1990s. In addition, Bo is a regular contributor to Paul Allen’s 9-Noon program on KFAN, where he can be heard discussing baseball and football on a weekly basis.

Christian Peterson, LeagueSafe.com
 

Christian Peterson is a lifelong Minnesotan who's barely old enough to remember tabulating scores by hand from newspaper box scores when he started playing fantasy sports two decades ago. A seasoned veteran of the fantasy sports industry, Christian spent four years as a Senior Editor at Fanball.com before joining Paul Charchian at LeagueSafe.com in 2008. His work has appeared in various print and online media outlets, including Fanball.com, AOL.com, Yahoo.com, ESPN.com, and FantasyVictory.com.
