Ryan Sitzmann (“The IDP Guru”) was born and raised in Dubuque, Iowa. He graduated in May of 2010 from the University of Dubuque with a double degree in Business Administration (with an emphasis on Marketing) and Liberal Arts as well as a Music Minor.

In his spare time, he loves to immerse himself in all things craft beer and is currently working towards one day becoming a Cicerone. He also enjoys playing guitar, collecting vintage sports memorabilia, and watching an unhealthy amount of movies & TV shows.

Ryan has been playing Fantasy Football for nearly 20 years. Over that time period, he has won multiple league championships in large part due to his expertise in the IDP area. His success is largely predicated on his extensive knowledge of NFL defensive schemes, defensive positional trends and values, and, most importantly, his years of IDP league experience.

He finished #1 in overall IDP accuracy in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 according to FantasyPros.com

Aside from overseeing all things at IDPGuru.com, Ryan is also a IDP staff member at Footballguys.com.
