From crafting compelling articles to producing top-notch podcasts, C.H. Herms is not your average content creator — he's a well-rounded grinder and the ultimate secret weapon for any team looking to up their game.
A skilled writer, editor, audio/visual engineer, or customer support agent, Herms' written work has been featured on such platforms as FTN Fantasy, Fantasy Points, Draft Sharks, and FantasyPros, among others.

Known for injecting humor and quirky pop culture references into his writing, C.H. brings a unique blend of fun and expertise to football, connecting with both experienced fantasy managers and beginners.

I produce many of the Fantasy Points podcasts under their network umbrella, including (but not limited to) NFL First Read, the Fantasy Points College Football Podcast, and the flagship Fantasy Points Podcast with John 'The Guru' Hansen.
In addition to podcast production, I clip and edit video teasers/Shorts from the various episodes of different shows for the Fantasy Points Shorts YouTube channel, a platform I am trusted with scheduling/uploading/managing, etc.
