I looked through FanSpo's Social Media Accounts... these are astonishing


I'll start with Zach himself. If you go to the About Us Page, his two social's are linked at the bottom where his bio is.

I started with his Linkedin, because Linkedin has everything. I don't think people realize how awesome Linkedin is. You literally get to stalk everyone while seeing what they've been up to as well. I sign in with my mom's account and scroll down to find that he hasn't posted anything.

But after scrolling down further I realize that zach is smart as hell. He says he's been working on FanSpo full-time (thank goodness), and calls the website "A platform with creator tools, league data and integrations that empower you to express your ideas confidently in a fun and tailored environment. Home of the NBA Trade Machine, NFL Trade Machine & professional draft and analyst tools." In two sentences he described this website better than I ever could (until now). He also says that he started Jan 2021, even though TradeNBA was birthed in August of 2017 (the 7-year anniversary is imminent). He's also been working in H-E-B since May 2019. Yes, when I say since, I mean that he is still working there.

No wonder updates have been taking so long! He's even the Senior Software Engineer, which means that he is an experienced professional who oversees software development projects, writes clean and efficient code, and provides technical leadership to a team of engineers. According to Glassdoor, he reportedly makes over $180,000 a year. That means that he can keep doing this and coding the site as long as he has enough money for H-E-B (which he should.) Since he's been working there since May 2019, that means he's earned a reported $840,000 over his tenure at H-E-B.

From there, he also worked at USAA over a 26-months timespan as a Software Development Engineer. The salary for these jobs pay much less, paying anywhere from $83,000 to $130,000 per year. Assuming he's a level II software engineer, he makes about $101,000 per year. Doing the math, that means he probably earned about $220,000 in his tenure. Moving backwards, he worked at Cogeco Peer 1 for 9 months as the Software Developer II role. Going back to Glassdoor, this position makes an estimated $111,496 per year. Doing more math, this means he made an estimated $83,700 in his tenure at the San Antonio location. I specify San Antonio because this company has a more popular branch in Atlanta. Next up is Accenture, and I have a mini-history with this company because of my mom. She's really big into stocks, and she bought the Accenture stock about 8 years ago. To this day, I have never seen her worried once about this stock losing her money. She also used to actually work at Accenture.

Back to Zach's story, he actually got a promotion during the 33-month duration of him working here, starting out as a technical architect. The salary estimations for this job vary a lot, but the general consensus is about $130,000. That means he earned $151,600 at this job. But this man decides that that's not enough. So he gets promoted to a senior software developer. Indeed's numbers for this job range from $31,000 to $220,000 per year, don't know what's going on there. I'll use an estimated guess of 130K per year. In total, he earned about $220,000.

We move further back to Culture.Service.Growth. According to Bloomberg, they operate as a call center. The company also offers operational and management consulting services. Culture.Service.Growth. serves customers in the United States only. He worked as a System and Network Engineer, and in detail, he

● Integrated client’s networks and I.T. operations with our own to access their systems (Citrix, Avaya, Cisco).

● Wrote custom call flow scripts, pop-up applications and utilized CRM/Cloud Contact Center APIs.

● Developed internal and external websites as well as created custom web applications to integrate with clients.

● Configured and managed Windows domain, Linux servers, and Cisco network across multiple sites.

● Worked with operations staff (including executive management) to develop strategies and plans to enhance client services, improve user effectiveness, and promote innovation.

This could be the precursor to FanSpo as we know as a whole. The 4th pointer is what really shocked me. Does this mean the iOS update is coming faster than we think? (I'm delusional.)

He likely earned around $100-$175K at this job. I did some digging, but I could only find salaries for customer service workers. So I'm making an estimated guess.

His first job was as a Network Administrator for The University of Texas at San Antonio. The description of the job mentions that he "Maintained software applications, operating systems and support regular maintenance." He made about $55,500. So in total, barring no taxes, he has made about $1,485,000. I could factor in student debt and taxes to maybe find out how much he has right now, but it would be such a pain that I don't want to do it.

And that's just the experiences, we have a lot more to go through. He was the Network Administrator for the aforementioned University from October 2010 to June 2011. This was also his freshman year at the university. They must have had a lot of trust in the man. To wrap this section up, he has credentials from Microsoft, has 47 skills listed, including Java and Javascript, and is bilingual.

Next up is the Twitter, which is just a brand account (no gold checkmark). This account as you know mainly just posts trending trades from this site, but also it gives feedback to replies on the post occasionally if they match up to a comment on the original post. They also post way too much.

Their Instagram is a different story. It's similar to their Twitter, but they post less, and their posts are a lot lamer (no offense). Their trades seem a lot worse than what they post on Twitter.

Moving on to something not social media, we also have their Microsoft Outlook page. I don't know why they have Outlook when they also have their own newsletter (more on that later), and I don't want to email them (especially because my mom's Outlook account would be used).

Moving forward, they also have a company account for Linkedin. Now this isn't as juicy as Zach's page, but I have also now successfully doxxed where they're located at. If you live in San Antonio, head over to the 78250 ZIP code. Right below Northwest Crossing, you will be able to find them. For location:

There's also only 2-10 employees, so if you're complaining about updates taking forever, maybe help work for them and help speed up updates (if you're smart enough, and if they hire you). This company is also under Spectator Sports. After about 30 seconds of digging, I found this company's Linkedin account. Their bio says "Spectator is a tool for booster clubs to streamline the membership process and accept donations all online." And this is where stuff gets interesting. They also have 2-10 employees, but have two associated members. These people live in Illinois and California respectively. They have a now defunct website (that didn't lead to anything, even tried to Google it), and also have two investors. Why they're investing is a huge mystery. Looking into their people, one of them is the President, and the other is a "Sports Instructor". I wish this gave me more about what they do, but it doesn't. Maybe zach can leak it 👀 (jk).

Last and definitely least, is their Patreon. They have completely abandoned this account. They have 4 posts, all made on the same day (July 4, 2022), with comments disabled, and they're free to view. However, his bio might have some elements of interest. He says "Expansion into other sports such as the NHL, MLB, and Soccer are all in the ideation phase and I could use an extra coffee here or there to help get things expedited!" Why he needs a coffee will forever be unknown, but these three sports are what he plans on adding (as if it wasn't abundantly clear in the Roadmap).

I also want to quickly mention the newsletter. They say there's "no spam ever". I just signed up for it, we'll see what happens.

Thank you for reading, this is one of my greatest posts to date in my opinion. Really fascinated me and I actually had to do some research for a post. This isn't the type of things I normally do, so if you want me to do more research and effort posts, let me know.
