Who are the Voices Behind the Stories and Shows?
Seth Woolcock is a 26-year-old communications professional from Pennsylvania who believes that everyone has a story to tell. He is a four-time Fantasy Sports Writers Association (FSWA) Award finalist. In addition to owning and operating In-Between Media, Seth is a host, producer, writer and editor at FantasyPros/BettingPros. Prior to developing In-Between Media, Seth graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in journalism and public relations. During his time there, he was the editor-in-chief of The Penn, his campus newspaper, transitioning the nearly 100-year-old publication from print to an all-digital media company. Outside of watching football and NASCAR, but often using it as inspiration, Seth loves music, kicking back outdoors and adventuring.
Elliot Hicks has had both writing and sports media in his veins from the beginning, both of his own being and the beginning of In-Between Media. The longest-tenured member of IBT not in the Woolcock household, Hicks is currently at the forefront of the site's NASCAR content. He was In-Between before it was a thing, serving as sports editor under Seth at IUP's The Penn student newspaper when the first "Start, Sit & Seth" column was written. (Industry secret - he doesn't rank tight ends because we didn't have the space for it in the paper.) Holding a B.A. in communications with a minor in journalism, his experience with TV, radio and live sports broadcasting serves well as host of "The Backroad," the site's weekly NASCAR betting and DFS YouTube show. Separately from the site, Hicks enjoys Pittsburgh sports, dubstep and EDM music, standup comedy and watching Alex Bowman finish 14th every week.
Conor Coughlin is from Plano, Texas but claims Colorado as his home. He is an avid golfer and has been playing for over 30 years. He spent 15 years in retail, hospitality management and leadership development. He now works in the wine and spirits industry. Conor is a lover of all music and spent several years playing in bands and writing music. He loves Rory Mcllroy and is a huge Minnesota Vikings fan. When Conor is not grinding NFL and PGA contests, he enjoys a good bourbon and a round of golf with friends. He currently lives in South Dakota with his dog Norman and his wife Rae.
Kyle Scott is a 26-year-old graduate of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). While attending IUP, he studied communications media and worked as an audio editor for The Penn, where he met Seth Woolcock. He is a fan of bad sports teams, bad movies and good beer. Kyle has placed in the top-three of every bar trivia contest he has entered, and long term hopes to be a contestant on "Jeopardy!".
Scott Rinear was born and raised in Washington State, and currently works as a construction manager in Seattle. He has two daughters, five and seven, and has been married to his wife Vanessa for 10 years. He has spent the last 14 years in the construction industry. Scott and his family's favorite activity is camping, and he and his wife Polar Bear Plunge into the icey Puget Sound every New Year's Day. Scott is a fan of most musical genres, but hip hop music has always been his favorite. He has been a lifelong fan of the Seahawks, Mariners, and University of Washington Huskies, and is excited about Seattle finally getting a hockey team, even if the name Kracken was not on his list of favorites. Scott's sport of choice growing up was baseball, and he would still play if given the time. He enjoys playing golf, pool, and any chance he gets to throw things at other things.
During the day, Bo McBrayer enjoys his peace and quiet as a hearing care provider in his sound-controlled office. At night, he casts a formidable shadow over his bubbling cauldron of hot sauce and cooks for the drooling masses on #foodporn Instagram. In his free time, Bo likes to utilize his attention to detail and trusty gut to help folks win at Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS). He is survived by his hot takes, spicy wit and desperate mission to be followed on Twitter by Matthew Berry.

When not connecting with others in the fantasy community, Rachel enjoys going to concerts, napping and being a proud cat mom to 11-year-old Grayson.

Emerging from a cloud of smoke on the West Coast of Canada is a feral beast with a quick-wit and a tongue sharper than a lumberjacks axe. When not producing content, Josh "Smokey-Hell" Nelson wears the hat of a proud father (to Felix and Ozzy) and husband (to his beloved Rachel). Having spent his first few decades in hockey, baseball, track and field and more, sports gave way to the other pursuits in Smokey’s life, namely music, entertainment and fantasy sports. Spending the mid-Aughts cutting his teeth as a journalist in the Vancouver music scene (when not taking over the hospitality industry) affirmed writing to be a most enjoyable passion.

Sam Schneider (Samwise) got his start writing editorials as a hobby for a number of sports and outlets. Although he cut a wide swath in professional sports writing, the Bengals fan’s heart has always belonged to his team and fantasy football. A player of the latter since the mid-1990s, Sam now spends his time as an editor of a multitude of subjects and concentrates his writing on all things fantasy. His specialty lies in short attention span fantasy football insight for players of every level, particularly dynasty. When not writing and discussing football, you can find this former TV/Movie actor and restaurateur exploring other hobbies, forever in search of something that provides the same high as this confounding, perfectly imperfect game of fantasy football.
Ben Siebert, residing in the Las Vegas area his whole life, discovered his passion for fantasy football early on as he currently runs a Facebook Page, "Fantasy Sports Start or Sit'Em Questions," since 2012, and an X/Twitter page, with the same name since around 2018. Outside of fantasy football, he works at a dog daycare and enjoys spending time with his dog, Esch. He is also a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and is bound to make a "bad" pun or two every week!
Steven Molina is currently the clinical director of a prosthetic and orthotics company in the Dallas area. He lives in a small suburb in southern Dallas with his wife and two boys. His life is crazy, shuffling his children between various sports practices, boy/cub scout meetings, church functions and working on his pickleball game. He is a long-time Dallas Cowboys fan who looks forward to every year being " the year," but he settles for annual disappointment.
His fantasy football career started almost 20 years ago in a home league that is still ongoing. Recently he has been dipping his in toes into dynasty, best ball and other fantasy football league format variations. With his experiences growing in the vast diversity of fantasy football formats, so is the number of leagues he is in, unbeknownst to his wife.
James Danielson was born and raised in Minnesota and currently resides in his hometown of Chatfield, Minn. He is married to his beautiful wife, Jennifer, and they have three children: Decker, Demi and Dixi. He has been working for Kwik Trip Inc. for 10 years and currently runs one of their convenience stores. Not only that, but James is also a firefighter for his hometown.
He loves to spend his spare time with his family and friends or enjoying one of his hobbies. It’s quite often, if you can’t find him at home, he’s either at the gym, walking a trout stream, in the woods hunting deer or at the movie theater. Not only does James have a passion for fantasy football, but he equally loves watching and writing reviews for movies.
Come fall; you can catch him cheering on his Minnesota Vikings (or yelling at them) with a craft beer in hand, covered head to toe in purple and gold, and cooking up something good on the smoker.
