Spud Alford is the founder and CEO of Zelosport, where he has created and marketed a series of sports board games based on the paper football concept. He is also a track and field athlete who twice missed the chance of representing the US team in the Olympics. In 1976, at the age of twenty-one, he began training for the most grueling competition in the track and field category, the ten-event decathlon. In 1980, only a few months prior to the selection of the American team, the United States boycotted the Moscow Games. In June of that year, a knee injury sidelined him, only to be diagnosed during his convalescence with testicular cancer. Alford has been interviewed on major networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, among others. The author grew up on air force bases around the world before his father retired and settled in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
