Zaheer Clarke's Profile
Zaheer Clarke's Profile
Zaheer Clarke is an assistant lecturer in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the Montego Bay Community College, where he lectures two of the easiest subjects for students to understand, mathematics and chemistry.
He did his first degree in Chemistry and Applied Chemistry. However, these days he's often called a journalist, columnist, blogger and sports analyst, which, for him, must be some fortuitous mistake.
In the journalism world, he focuses on sports analytics, but he says fortunately only nerds like himelf find that interesting. He also delves into controversial and highly opinionated issues in the world of sports, which thankfully he says have brought him both acclaim and scourge.
Some of his infamous columns
include "One of Jamaica's greatest nights reduced to bigotry" and the interestingly titled "Gatlin, not Bolt, saved athletics". Columns for which Jamaicans at home and abroad have showered him with both praise and death threats. And you might not have guessed it, he wrote that controversial Gatlin-Bolt column though both he and Usain Bolt attended the same high school.
For the past two years, he has been recognized by the Press Association of Jamaica as the blogger of the year for his blog, "Zaheer's Facts, Lies and Statistics", and last year, he was recognized jointly as the columnist of the year.
He is the husband of one wife and says he has no concubines, mateys or side chicks. He says if he did, his wife would certainly kill him and that she would have all right to. He is the father of a five-year-old girl, who he says thinks the world revolves around her but little does she know that she, in fact, is his world.
Ladies and gentlemen, help me welcome Mr. Zaheer Clarke.
