MARIO FRONZONI was born on Valentine’s Day in Elizabeth, New Jersey. A resident of East Brunswick, New Jersey for 43 years, Mario is married, the father of two, and grandfather of three grandchildren. After retiring from a career as a professional engineer in Mechanical Engineering and Management, and after securing five US patents, and, as lead engineer on the latest aircraft carrier (CVN 78) steam condensers for the US Navy, Mario began to pursue his passion for sports in earnest. In particular, he has become a leader in promoting the current national craze for pickleball. Mario reveals his knowledge of this popular sport and thoughts on why so many people, young and old, are obsessed with this form of exercise and recreation.
