Justin earned a Communications degree at UCSD, and then a Law degree and Master's in PR from Boston University. He loves to travel, and has lived in India and Japan.

Vladimir Samsonov  /  Elite Athlete Advisor - Global

Vladimir’s historic credentials will not fit in this space! Major highlights include six Olympic Games representing his native Belarus, advancing to the Bronze Medal round in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. His smooth and steady style has helped him capture the most ITTF World Tour titles in history (26). He has been ranked in the top 10 in the world almost continuously since 1996. Vladimir’s resume also includes Four Euro Top 12 titles, three World Cup titles, and a trip the World Championship Finals. He speaks five languages, and despite all of his success remains a genuinely down-to-earth guy. He’s been awarded the Fair Play Trophy at the World Championships a record three times.

Wei Wang  /  Elite Athlete Advisor - U.S.

Wei's long list of achievements starts with her getting selected at age nine, in a small Chinese town, to pursue training and a career in table tennis. Years of six-day weeks, training six hours per day, ultimately paid off. She rose to be ranked #5 in China. She then emigrated to the U.S., where she won the U.S. National Championships in singles and doubles. In 1996 she represented the USA in the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Inducted into the U.S. Table Tennis Hall of Fame in 2002, she has now played and coached in California for three decades.
