Since 2013, I've been competing in table tennis tournaments through the U.S. Paralympics.
Here's a look at some fun memories I've made over the years (I'm realizing I should start bringing a photographer with me to tournaments, since all the photos I have of me playing are about a decade old...)

Table tennis players often vary whether they serve with their backhand (left photo) or forehand (right photo).
Gotta keep your opponent on their toes somehow ;)

Lastly, a special memory from early in my table tennis journey:
Here's me playing doubles with my pal, Will Shortz. When he's not working as crossword editor for The New York Times, there's a good chance Will's playing table tennis.
I had the honor of being Will's doubles partner for a tournament in 2013. It was a fun time.
