Gabe Venit
I am a man of many talents as besides having a unique ability to generally make people laugh, I am also quite the athlete. After winning my first Heisman trophy, I then went on to be the top pick in the NFL draft, the first player to achieve that status as a freshman. After leading my team to 5 Super Bowls in my first 5 season, I retired to become President of the United States, the first person ever to be appointed as such at the ripe age of 25.
After I discovered the secret to world peace, I retired and decided to write some articles for Yahoo! so the world could see my true talents. I have been married for several years (since 2005), depending on when this gets updated, and I currently have a daughter born in 2009 who has made me an expert in parenting. In addition to that, I am a huge Philadelphia sports fan, along with my college alma mater the Temple Owls (basketball and football the only real college sports anyone cares about). I have also dabbled in the world of competitive eating, and my dream is to one day write a book, make boatloads of cash, retire and enjoy life while cashing residual checks and being the best damn Zaydah a guy can be.
