ABOUT NEAL LYNCH:
I’m an Irish-Italian-American who graduated from 1) a Catholic high school (even though I’m not Catholic), and 2) a college known for producing doctors and lacrosse players, then became neither. I was a former 4th string college quarterback and middle relief pitcher who thought an overpriced film and media studies degree was a smart choice. Now, I’m a single dad who likes to blog, vlog, podcast, write, edit, optimize, strategize, and over-analyze.
