John (or Glow) Glowatz hails from New Jersey and has lived in NY, NH, and DE. He grew up playing football, basketball, and lacrosse and played the latter at Marist College.

John is one of the few people who care about college sports in the Northeast, as a Penn State fan since birth and a UConn fan through marriage. He also supports the NY Football Giants and follows the NBA for the memes.

In addition, John holds more than a passing interest in strength sports, extreme sports, and any sort of obstacle/athletic competition show such as Ninja Warrior and American Gladiators.
