Eddie Timanus
Eddie Timanus (born August 9, 1968 in St. Joseph, Missouri) is a ''Jeopardy!'' champion and ''USA Today'' sportswriter who grew up in Reston, Virginia, then graduated from Wake Forest University. He met his wife through a Yahoo! Groups discussion group on game shows; the couple now has a son. Timanus has been blind since he was a toddler due to retinoblastoma.
==Early life==
At age 3, Timanus had an operation to remove tumors from his eyes, leading to his blindness. Following his ''Jeopardy!'' success, Timanus related a story from his childhood that his mother told him: "I came home and said, 'Turn on the lights.' And she said, 'They're on and you won't see them.' And I said, 'Well, OK' and went on."
Timanus's father, Chuck, was a play-by-play announcer. Eddie began attending sporting events with his father at the age of six, and he started keeping statistics at the age of eleven. Timanus graduated from Wake Forest University in 1990 with a degree in economics. In 1991, ''The Washington Post'' reported that Eddie worked alongside Chuck as a statkeeper for American University's basketball games, using pegboards and abaci, compiling statistical information for WINX-AM radio.
