Ryan Sitzmann ("The IDP Guru") was born and raised in Dubuque, Iowa. He graduated in May of 2010 from the University of Dubuque with a double degree in Business Administration (with an emphasis on Marketing) and Liberal Arts as well as a Music Minor. He had a cumulative GPA of 4.0 and graduated summa cum laude.

In his spare time, he loves to play guitar and sing. He also plays a lot of sports and watches a copious amount of television shows and movies.

Even though he's only 24 years old, Ryan has been playing Fantasy Football for over 12 years. Over that time period, he has won multiple league championships in large part due to his expertise in the IDP area. His success is largely predicated on his extensive knowledge of NFL defensive schemes, defensive positional trends and values, and, most importantly, his years of IDP league experience.

Aside from overseeing all things at IDPGuru.com, Ryan currently does the IDP Forward Projections for Footballguys and is heavily involved in several high-level expert leagues.

Johnny Davis has been playing fantasy football for more than 10 years and has been a dynasty IDP freak for the last five years.  Despite spending way too much time obsessing about anything fantasy football-related, he found time to earn an undergraduate degree in Journalism along the way.  He is currently the Sports Columnist for one of his hometown newspapers.  He is also pursuing a master's degree in Communication and teaching Public Speaking classes as a graduate teaching assistant.

He does not have a favorite NFL team, instead opting to yell at the TV for his fantasy players to "make a freakin' play!"  When not giving his TV a good tongue-lashing, he enjoys friendly mosh pits and karaoke that gets the cops called.  His goal in life is to avenge last year's fantasy championship game loss to his brother.

Lee Conner is a Dubuque, Iowa native and an avid Bears fan and Cubs fan. He is a recent graduate of the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Marketing (with an Advertising emphasis). As a fantasy football player, Lee is no “guru”, however, he has won one championship along with a last place finish and a few in between (good thing he’s only designing the graphics).

His graphics design background began during his sophomore year of college when he became interested in teaching himself how to create images and logos. From there, Lee has designed logos for his family’s business, as well as the IDP Guru. Lee hopes to continue his graphic designing as a hobby in the future.
