My name is Arya Tschand and I'm a Junior at High Technology High School in New Jersey. I began playing fantasy football in 6th grade (11 years old) with a couple of my friends and have fallen in love with it ever since. More than anything, I love the combination of luck, skill, knowledge, risk-taking, and pride involved in playing fantasy football and bragging to my friends whenever I win. 

​

Along with being an avid fantasy football player, I am also a high school basketball and volleyball player at Colts Neck High School, where I play power forward and outside hitter. I have participated in regional and national level research competitions for my project on developing an intelligent and affordable precision irrigation system using machine learning. Outside of school, I enjoy coding iOS apps, especially for my community's recreation basketball league, and of course, watching football. In our family, RedZone is a priority and the hours of 1-11 pm on Sundays are sacred. Ever since Super Bowl XLII, when I was 5 years old, I've been a die-hard Patriots fanatic.
