I was born in New York City on the upper west side of Manhattan. When I was growing up, I often played table tennis in Marty Reisman's club, which was half a dozen blocks from where I lived. After junior high school, my family moved to Long Island. I attended Stony Brook University and received the B.S. in Mathematics. I then moved to Massachusetts to attend graduate school at MIT and received the Ph.D. in Mathematics (Probability). There was a very active table tennis club at MIT, and we competed against other schools, attended USATT-sanctioned tournaments, and ran our own USATT-sanctioned tournaments at MIT. I was president of the MIT Table Tennis Club for many years. Currently, I'm one of the organizers of the Boston Table Tennis Center. Here is a photo of me working at the Table Tennis Pioneers booth at the 2001 North American Team Championships in Baltimore. I am the creator of a sophisticated table tennis rating system that is used by Ratings Central. After MIT, I went to work as an applied mathematician at TASC (The Analytic Sciences Corporation), a systems engineering company. TASC became part of first Primark, then Litton, and is now part of Northrop Grumman. I worked there for twenty-two years. Currently, I am a self-employed business/IT consultant. For the last several years, I worked primarily for The Table Tennis Pioneers and Banda Sports, Inc.
