Jonathan Olds Email & Phone Number

I graduated from Colorado State University in May 2021 with a Bachelor's degree in Statistics, as well as minors in Sports Management, Business Administration, and Mathematics. I've been passionate about sports ever since I was old enough to ask my grandpa to record basketball games on VHS tapes. This passion initially fueled me towards journalism, as I served as co-editor of the sports section of my high school newspaper for three years. I also created and ran a Colorado Rockies fan page on Instagram with 5,000 followers from June 2016 to May 2019. Eventually, my analytical mindset and mathematical skills won out and I decided to pursue my passion for sports through the quantitative field of statistics. I am still exhilarated by stories, and I think there is nothing more exciting than using data and analytical processes to share relevant sports stories and predictions. I have practiced this craft in my undergraduate years, completing two lengthy analytical projects related to college basketball and baseball. The final reports to these projects can be found in my Featured section. Armed with my well-rounded educational background in statistics, mathematics, business, and sports management, I am excited to find a position where I can find and use data to create relevant stories, predictions, and strategies. When I'm not obsessing over the weird facts on football, baseball, and basketball broadcasts, I can be found playing volleyball, pickleball, and ultimate frisbee, reading, playing board games, and listening to an increasingly wide range of music.
