PPP Leadership

Founder and President

Nenad Bach is a Croatian-American musician, rock star, and peace activist who has performed with a wide range of famous musicians including Bono, Luciano Pavarotti, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen. In 2010, Nenad was diagnosed with Parkinson, and lost the ability to play guitar. A chance encounter with ping pong, through an invitation from a friend, Nenad felt a surge in health. Encouraged, he continued to play ping pong.

The impact of ping pong on his health was so significant that Nenad organized a local program where he lived in Westchester, NY for other people living with Parkinson. Since its founding in 2017, PingPongParkinson® has become a global entity, encompassing local chapters in over 25 countries around the world.
