ABOUT MATHEW
Grew up on the mean streets of Deerfield Illinois where I had two choices in life… Grind it out on the Ping Pong tables, OR go to school, get a really good education, hopefully get into a good college, learn a skill that could earn me a well paying job, save money to travel the world, meet the love of my life, get married, and eventually raise a family of Ping Pong champions… It was a tough decision honestly, but you know how the saying goes “I didn’t choose the Pong life, the Pong life chose me.” (Mat Waltz, 2018)
