The Team

Mark Sandritter, President of Operations/Sports Director EMAIL
Mark founded and designed SMT Sports in 2006. He has since re-designed the site multiple times including the latest re-design in July of 2007. He is currently a student at the Washington State University. When not busy with school or working on SMT Sports, you will most likely find him around sports or food or both. He enjoys recliners and sub sandwiches that last for days. However, possibly the only thing greater than his love for meat and cheese on bread is his fondness for sports. He grew up as a sports fan in Washington and has developed a vast knowledge of useless facts and sports information. Some people like to point out his remarkable similarities to the TV character Jerry Seinfeld, to which he responds, “But I don't want to be like Jerry Seinfeld”

Greg Martin, Vice President/Director of Marketing EMAIL
Greg joined SMT Sports shortly after its inception in 2006. He may not have the greatest sports knowledge but Mark keeps him around and gave him a high ranking title to make up for the time he pushed Greg into a pond when they were in kindergarten together, completely ruining his shoes. Greg, however, does bring a lot to the table as he is on his way towards a marketing degree from Western Washington University. He also adds wide variety of ideas to the table ranging from music to sports to video games. He enjoys cheering for singers of the national anthem, especially Brian McNight, and has been called the king of the one liners. Greg’s goal in life is to be the best there is, but will gladly settle for winning free pizza for a year and/or actually having Mark pay him for once.

Nate Kelly, MLB Writer/Senior Sports Ranker EMAIL
Nate, a sports management major at Washington State University, has been part of the SMT Sports team from the start. He has contributed in a number of different ways including NFL predictions as well as writing NBA and NCAA articles, but it was only fitting for him to take over our MLB operations. Why? Well we had to look no further than the NBA playoffs when in the middle of a crucial game Nate was instead enthralled in the intense action that was a Mariners-Pirates game.

James Lacourse, Fight Expert EMAIL
LaCourse, or Jimmy James as he is known around SMT headquarters, is our resident fight expert. Don’t let his appearance fool you, this guy knows more about MMA and boxing than anyone we have ever met. If a guy has stepped inside the ring/octagon Jimmy knows him. Speaking of stepping inside the ring, Jimmy once tapped out a D-1A football player during a sparring session. Outside of watching fights, Jimmy enjoys guitar hero, a good pizza and shopping at Costco.
