About me
a little about me
I am an author, humanitarian, singer/songwriter, poet, illustrator, video director/producer, and a business owner.
Creating art that somehow helps humanity is what I love doing the most. But my passion right after it is PING PONG! A few years ago I discovered the new phase of Ping Pong that is much more athletic, powerful, and challenging, than the Ping Pong I knew—Modern Table Tennis. Few visits to Newgy, table tennis club near Nashville, and I was hooked! I started going to Newgy club around 2005. I was mesmerized by the techniques of great players I saw there. I loved the speed of the game, the frequency of shots, the intricate spinning techniques, and the close connection of people that play this sport. I stopped playing regular tennis and started learning table tennis. Spinning, looping, keeping your body really low... was all new for me and I am STILL learning. I struggle with forehand stroke. I started this site strictly for me to keep records of what I am learning and also to keep the videos, and commercials I produced/directed for Joe Newgarden, a dear friend and the creator of Robo Pong. Joe is no longer with us, BUT his presence is still in our hearts. His incredible passion for this sport, his support of schools and anybody that wanted to learn ping pong still makes me smile and it keeps me going.

Below is one of my drawings from my next book, Things on the Floor Can Wait. Even though my children had grown, I keep this drawing (magnet) on my fridge as it still reminds me to set my priorities right! So thinking of table tennis only, what is the most important priority for me that I keep ignoring, and what is the least important priority that I spend too much time on? Hm... good question. I will think about it. Good topic for a blog, I guess!
