Chris has experienced the importance of sports scheduling as a player, coach, and now an optimization expert. Chris was an All-American tennis player at Vanderbilt University, played professional tennis for four years, and was the assistant tennis coach at Ole Miss. He earned his PhD from the University of Maryland focusing on routing and scheduling problems and has since been involved in scheduling everything from school buses to salespeople to supercomputers. He began working in sports scheduling in 2010 and continues to be fascinated by the complexity and ubiquity of these problems. He co-founded Fastbreak with the goal of taking the complex optimization needed by the largest leagues in the world and making this available to athletes, sports fans, and leagues of all sizes.
Tim brings a depth of knowledge and experience in optimization. He received his PhD in Operations Research from Cornell University and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Tim has applied optimization methodology for problems in transportation, healthcare, telecommunication, computer networking, and others before finding the surprisingly complex domain of sports scheduling. He is passionate about making an intuitive product accessible to everyone and using advanced techniques to deliver the best solutions possible.
