Short bio: Chris DeMatteo is a sports and fiction writer from New Haven, Conn. Chris is a devout fan of the Red Sox and Boston College, from which he graduated in 2006, (But the Northeastern and BU dominated staff doesn't hold that against him). He has even been known to pull for UConn from time to time. At BC he lived next door to Craig Smith who now plays for the Timberwolves and also sat his couch. Chris has written sports articles for the Harbor News and Valley Courier newspapers in Connecticut, created the Boston Collegian and BC Carpetbaggers websites and wrote the screenplay "Degrees of Learning" which he is trying to sell. Chris now resides in Milwaukee, still a New Englander at heart and a BC Guy for life. He is joined in Wisconsin by the Craig Smith couch but longs for New Haven pizza and good clam chowder.
