Rich Swerbinsky is the editor-in-chief for TheClevelandFan.com and President of TheClevelandFan.com, LLC. Tired of a lack of alternatives for Cleveland sports news, talk, and opinion ... he created this website, bringing it to the web on February 1, 2006.
Swerb has been a maniacal fan of the Browns, Cavs, Indians, and Buckeyes since about the age of four, and has always loved to express himself in words. He wrote for a number of different publications and websites before creating The Cleveland Fan, and now pours everything he has into this site, which has continued to grow and thrive since inception.
Swerb's other loves in life are golfing, reading, fantasy sports, cooking, Great Lakes Brewing Company, his wife Hallie, his four and a half year old son Nicholas and his one and a half year old daughter Chloe. Nicholas is already a proud and passionate Cleveland sports fan at a very young age, just as his father was.
Swerb loves to hear feedback on his columns, as well as his websites, as he is always looking for ways to improve them. He can be contacted by clicking on the link above.
