Dan Wismar is an eastside Cleveland native, (Heights High '70), and a lifelong northeast Ohio resident. Like a million other Ohio boomers, he pretended to be Rocky Colavito or Jim Brown or Paul Warfield in his backyard games as a kid, and like so many of us, he credits and thanks his Dad for his "fanhood". And even though he's old enough to remember 75-cent bleacher seats and Mike de la Hoz, he's still young enough to stay optimistic about this town and its teams.
Dan also follows the Ohio State football and basketball programs with something approaching religious zeal, and plans to be writing a lot about the Buckeyes in this forum. In whatever he writes on the local sports scene, he will always try to bring the perspective of the “fan in the stands” to his writing.
Dan has spent most of his working career in the executive search and employment consulting business here in Northeast Ohio. In his spare time he's a blogger and an avid reader of non-fiction, and will golf at the drop of a hat. The kids are grown now, so he and his wife Cindy plan to see a lot more road games in the near future.
See you at the game!
