Rotowhine co-founder Greg Fox likes to consider himself a Renaissance man, though he has no idea when the Renaissance actually took place. Never believed to amount to anything, he has proven his critics right time and time again.

Always the one with the first laugh, Fox, along with his comrade en arms Jeff Andriesse, has finally turned the corner with the advent of Rotowhine.com.

At the age of 34, while sitting on his grandpa’s lap, Fox decided to make something of himself. “Pop, pop,” he said. “How are all of these people able to buy houses and cars and get to go on trips to exotic places like Hawaii, Fiji, Scranton?” The venerable old man looked at him whimsically with those soft blue eyes and proceeded to crack him upside the head with his rolled up New York Post. “That was the turning point,” Fox would later go on to say.

Fox, who first played fantasy football in 1989, has worked in college athletics most of his adult life. Tormented as a child by having to fasten his mother’s bra on a daily basis, the exhilaration of college sports brought a level of testosterone to his life that he never thought existed.

In 2004, Fox and his cohort Andriesse stumbled upon an idea that would forever change them. As Fox was concluding one of his regular fantasy bitch sessions, he uttered the magical words, “I’ll call you later to whine to you some more.” Andriesse, likely ready to hang himself, seized the opportunity and spawned the idea for Rotowhine.

Fox spent most of his formative years watching TV sitcoms, including The Odd Couple, All in the Family and Get Smart and through those shows learned everything he needed to know about high culture. Three years ago, he managed to buffalo the former Mary Anne Swenton into marrying him and she continues to put up with his juvenile behavior. Now in his spare time, he can be found watching The Odd Couple, All in the Family and Get Smart.
