About Mike Stump

Mike is a long-time CBJ fan who has been around since Day 1 of the franchise. He grew up in Columbus, went to college at Ohio State, Class of '19, and now works as a Property Claims Adjuster for Nationwide Insurance. He aims to bring the perspective of an optimistic, long-time Jackets fan who believes that better times are ahead, and to combine an advanced statistics perspective with his own "eye tests" and scouting.
