Meet Our Writers

Carson Cistulli

Carson Cistulli is a regular contributor at Fangraphs and brings his own style of analysis and a more entertaining look at football stats than what seems possible. Aside from his regular gig at Fangraphs, Carson is a writing instructor, a contributor at RotoWire, and a real-life poet. Yes poet. (Warning. Click at your own risk.)


Keith Goldner

Keith is a true stat-head. Aside from Drive-By, he is the chief analyst at numberFire, a slick and smart fantasy-oriented site. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern with a B.A. in math. Keith has worked with two NBA franchises - Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers - doing statistical analysis and data management. In addition, he has worked with ESPN and the Wall Street Journal, contributing analysis across multiple platforms, and his sports analytics research has been featured at conferences across the nation.


Marc Hulet

Marc is a former newspaper reporter and editor from Canada who has spent the past five years covering Major League Baseball - with a focus on prospects and rookies - for a variety of publications and websites including FanGraphs, Baseball Analysts, Heater Magazine, Rotoworld, ESPN, NBC Sports and The Toronto Sun. His work has also appeared on book shelves in two editions (2010-11) of The Graphical Player baseball annual. He's excited to bring his love of prospects and rookies to the world of professional football via Advanced NFL Stats. Marc lives in London, Ontario with his wife and daughter.


Jack Moore

Jack is a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and economics. Along with Marc, he is a colleague of Advanced NFL Stats's own Carson Cistulli at FanGraphs and also writes about baseball at Disciples of Uecker (a Milwaukee Brewers blog) among other places, and his work has also been featured on ESPN and ESPN Insider. His love for the Wisconsin Badgers has instigated a foray into the world of football analysis as well, with a blog named Badger of Honor. His introduction to game theory as part of his college education opened whole new doors for analyzing the game of football, adding a completely new dimension to watching the game besides simply tallying fantasy points.


Zach Sanders

Zach writes about baseball for FanGraphs (Is anyone noticing a trend here?), and he has contributed to countless other baseball sites on the interwebs. Zach's past football work could be found on KFFL.com in late-2008 and early-2009, but he suggests not searching for them unless you wish to be disappointed. He is forced to watch the Seahawks tank this year in an effort to draft Andrew Luck, and he remembers where he was when Bill Levy ruined his life forever. You can follow him on twitter @zvsanders.


Josh Katz

Josh graduated in 2010 from Drew University with a BA in political science and philosophy and is currently pursuing a PhD in statistics at NC State doing research in stochastic modeling and quantitative methods in the social sciences. Previous projects include working on models to estimate diabetes risk as well as an adaptation of Google's PageRank algorithm to rank tennis players on the ATP Tour.
