Welcome to The Couch GM! Although I (Connor) am the main voice of the brand, I invite everyone that tunes in to share their own "Couch GM" opinions on what you think your team should do, whether its in baseball, football, or another sport. Of course being a PNW native, I do focus in on the Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, and WSU Cougars. I create content that I myself would enjoy watching, which includes player profiles, interviews with players and industry experts, and more. PS- I am also a full time mortgage loan originator and can assist with your home loan financing in WA, OR, CA, ID, & AZ!
