I was born in New York City on the upper west side of Manhattan. 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).

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 (www.bostonttc.us).

I am the creator of a sophisticated table tennis rating system that is used by Ratings Central (www.ratingscentral.com).

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.

For three and a half years, I was Director of Operations for The Table Tennis Pioneers (ttpioneers.ping-pong.com) and Banda Sports, Inc.
