Ethan Trex

Profile: After four years in a doctoral program at the Wharton School in Philadelphia, Ethan Trex walked away knowing he had no desire to become a research economist. Instead, he spends his days writing about sports and business. He has now co-authored three humorous books with needlessly long titles, including 'Faking It: How to Seem Like a Better Person Without Actually Improving Yourself.' He also contributes to ESPN The Magazine and co-created Straight Cash, Homey, the Internet’s undisputed top source for pictures of people in Ryan Leaf jerseys (straightcashhomey.net). And on top of all that, Ethan is a weekly contributor to mental_floss.
