Sascha Paruk
Managing Editor
Sascha has been working in sports media since October 2014. Originally an editor, he became captivated by probability early on and started taking statistics courses in his spare time. Still heavily involved in the editing side as SBD’s managing editor, Sascha also puts his sports-betting acumen to good use with NFL, NBA, MLB, college basketball, soccer, and politics articles. He has developed a new model for calculating NCAAF strength-of-schedule and was SBD’s in-house oddsmaker when the site was more focused on novelty props. He has also written for Newsweek, MassLive, and Saturday Down South, among other publications. Sascha completed an undergraduate degree in linguistics at the University of British Columbia before going to UBC Law. After clerking, articling, and practicing for two years, he left law for sports media and hasn’t regretted it since.
