NIU grad Van Zuiden CPA by day, fantasy sports stud by night

During tax season, Justin Van Zuiden, like most CPAs, will log 60+ hour workweeks and spend days on end staring at numbers on his computer screen.

Once his client work dies down – usually around the end of March – Van Zuiden’s office hours will go back to normal. But when he goes home, he’ll still spend a few extra hours each night managing salaries and projections on his computer.

Only in this case, the salaries are assigned to athletes, and the six-figure bankroll belongs to Van Zuiden.

Van Zuiden’s financial expertise isn’t limited to his full-time job.
