Yaron Weitzman is an editorial assistant and contributing writer for SLAM Magazine and SLAMonline.com, an online editor for SLAM's new football website, TDdaily.com, and a contributing writer for TD Magazine. Yaron joined the SLAM family in August, 2011 after realizing that despite spending four years at New York University, the only economics acronym that he understood was B.R.I. His career highlights to date include warming the bench for the Frisch School in NJ, the Oak Hill of Jewish prep basketball, and providing Stephen A. Smith with his daily bags of cheese doodles while interning at ESPN Radio in New York. Yaron, who has also written for the Journal News, currently resides in New Rochelle, NY, a city just north of the Big Apple that, since the opening round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament, no longer refers to itself as the "proud" home of the Iona Gaels.
