Hello, my name is Dante Strella and I am currently a senior majoring in marketing at the University of South Florida. I am from Allentown, Pennsylvania and I absolutely love sports. Ever since I was a kid I was always active in a sport whether it was soccer, basketball or football. I grew up watching the Steelers play every Sunday with my dad. In high school, I realized I wanted a job in sports. I took a sports marketing class and immediately knew I wanted to be a sports marketer. The creativity and the potential to work with high profile clients sold me. My passion for sports will turn into my career and I am excited for what the future holds. In terms of my life outside of my career, I stay active. I play basketball and football with my friends when the opportunity presents itself and I also go to the gym on a daily basis. I am very excited about this sports blog and I hope everyone reading enjoys! Thanks!
Hi, my name is Antonio Dell’Aguzzo, but many people call me Puggy (Yes, my nickname is actually Puggy). I am currently a freshmen at Penn State. I'm majoring in marketing and plan on obtaining a certification in sports administration. I am from New York but currently reside in Allentown, Pennsylvania. All my life I have been a sports fanatic, whether it be sports video games, watching games, and simply playing sports. As time progressed and I grew up, I really started to believe in potentially working in the sports world. Like our co-owner and founder, Dante Strella, I took a sports marketing class in high school that really opened my eyes, and showed me what it is like in the sports world. Luckily for me, I was able to get a glimpse of being in the sports world by being the statistician for my high school basketball team and working alongside the coaches. My hope is that this passion I have for sports can get me a career in the sports world whether it be an accountant for a team or just simply a manager. In terms of my life outside the sports world, I am constantly active. When opportunities present themselves, I am out and about with my friends playing sports, going to the gym, or just simply playing video games with them. I am very excited to be working for this sports blog and hope everyone enjoys our content!
My name is Ryan Korutz. I graduated from Pennsylvania College of Technology with two degrees. One is a BS in Automation Engineering Technology: Mechatronics. The other degree is an AAS in Mechatronics Engineering Technology. My hometown is Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. Currently I reside in Manchester, Pennsylvania. Camp Hill is just West of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania’s capitol. I was drafted here by Stephen to help with the website and here I am. If I had to choose, I would say NHL and NFL are my go to sports. I do watch recreational baseball as I used to play myself. My favorite team for the NHL is the Nashville Predators. For the NFL, I personally have favored the Eagles. My grandfather had a burning passion supporting the Eagles and so did my dad. I will follow, no matter how horrible they do. I am excited to roll out updates to make the website better for all, both in functionality and design.
Hello all, my name is Dustin. I am currently a senior at Queens College in Queens, NY. I am a huge sports fanatic and an avid New York sports fan, except when it comes to basketball, love the Celtics. In particular, I religiously follow Hockey, Baseball, a fair amount of basketball and some soccer. I played hockey for 10 years between middle and high school, was on my middle school basketball team and played a few years of little league, hockey definitely has a special place for me though. I first got into Hockey through my fathers client who at the time was the head of European scouting for the NHL and remember being sent Olympics Jerseys signed by team USA and even team Russia. I appreciated that kind of stuff back then and can’t even begin to imagine how much I would appreciate it now. I enjoy playing sports and watching them whenever I can and am involved with them on a daily basis, in whatever capacity that may be. Currently, I plan on going to graduate school after I finish college and hope to get an MBA in Finance or attend law school. I look forward to creating great sports content in the near future and to be able to share it with others.
Hi all, my name is Michael Thermenos, but I go by Micky. I am currently in my 4th year out of 5 attending Drexel University for a BS in Economics. I am originally from the northern part of New Jersey and I currently go back and forth between living in Philly and New Jersey. I grew up playing soccer since I was about 3, then I also played baseball for 6 or so years and played basketball for a few years. My favorite sports are hockey, baseball, and soccer. I also watch football and follow it somewhat closely, but not nearly as closely as I follow the other three sports. I grew up with parents who didn’t watch sports even though my dad had tickets to the Cosmos growing up and got to watch Pele play and rented our townhouse to New Jersey Devils legend Petr Sýkora before we lived there. I got my parents into watching the Yankees and we’ve been fans for quite some time. As for hockey, my mom took us to watch a Devils vs Rangers game courtesy of her job and I’ve been hooked since. I grew up a Devils fan, but since moving to college I watch the Flyers a lot just because they’re basically my new home team. As for soccer, my best friend growing up was a Manchester United fan so that’s who I started to watch too. I am very excited for the opportunity to write some sports blogs and I hope everyone enjoys the content! Thank you!
Hello, my name is Zachary Loch, Zach for short. I am a high school graduate and plans on entering college in the near future. I'm an avid sports fan hailing from Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. I grew up loving NASCAR practically since the day I was born, then I began playing recreational baseball for about four years. My favorite sports are racing, baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. I follow soccer but not as much as the others. Since I grew up in a house of pretty much only NASCAR fans, I'm kinda all over the place in terms of favorite teams. I'm a huge Denny Hamlin and Sebastian Vettel fan in NASCAR and Formula 1. In baseball and hockey, I like the Phillies and Flyers, but there is my favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys, which I solely became a fan of because my grandmother and I liked rooting against the Eagles to make my grandfather angry, and it's stayed that way ever since. Basketball was the latest sport I fell in love with. Admiring the work effort of Giannis and all of the Milwaukee Bucks. I excelled in writing throughout high school and look forward to helping out here at Cloud Zero Sports.
