Dan Haefeli
I was born and raised on the Jersey Shore. I wasn't much of a baseball fan until college, at which point I fell in love with the game (and the New York Mets). Though my degree is in Civil Engineering, I deeply enjoy writing about baseball and delving into the statistical trends that may not be noticed while watching the game. Outside of the game, I'm a passionate football (NY Giants) fan, musician, and otherwise uninteresting mid-20's guy trying to make it in central Queens. I'm on Twitter (@danhaefeli), and my personal blog is at http://flushingbynumbers.blogspot.com
