One of my good friends writes for the U of C alumni magazine and published this article on our PECOTA founding friend.

Thanks for posting that. It was a good read. For some reason I thought PECOTA and BP had been around longer than that.

nate sounds like a rather smart individual.

 

i'm also guessing that "wicker park apartment" is code for "mother's basement"

Was it common knowledge among BP readers that Christina Kahrl is a transgendered individual?

 

Also, I have a lot of respect for people like Nate Silver who break out of the corporate rat race and do something they are passionate about. Managing Partner at 30. Very cool.

yep. in fact, he used to be on CLTV's call in shows all the time back in the day as Chris. I didn't even know he changed to Christina until years after he did it

Yeah, I think most people knew about the Chris/Christina thing, but I was surprised to learn that Silver is basically the CEO of BP. I was just under the impression that he did PECOTA and Lies, Damned Lies. He kinda seemed like a hired gun whos there pretty much just for the projection system, but pretty impressive that he runs the show as well.

I was interested to learn that as well. I had been under the impression that Sheehan and Carroll were the primary guys.
