Like many Americans, Vincent started playing table-tennis in the dorms in college. He likes how challenging table-tennis is but does not like how challenging the proper grip on his paddle is! His grip is always changing! He likes traveling to tournaments, seeing different sights, and takes advantage of learning from every match he plays, whether it is a victory or a loss. His biggest accomplishments have been in doubles and has won the Under 4200 Doubles title at the 2006 Berkeley Open. He has played a tournament in China and found it interesting that most of the players' favorite sport drink was tea. He is an engineer by profession. When away from his favorite sport, he enjoys spending time with his two kids, working out, swimming, basketball, and is a car enthusiast.
