In addition to writing, Fox works as as life coach, helping clients to achieve their loftiest goals. She earned an MA in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, including working for a year as a psychotherapist with middle school students. An avid yogi and meditator, she has earned a yoga teaching certificate from Ana Forrest and completed three 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreats.

At present, Fox lives in Honolulu, Hawaii with her beloved husband, filmmaker/author Kiran Ramchandran, and their twin boys.

Honored in 2005 by Inc. Magazine as "The Entrepreneur of the Year", Ping Fu describes herself as an artist and a scientist whose chosen expression is business. In 1997, Ping co-founded Geomagic, a software company which pioneers 3D technologies that fundamentally change the way products are designed and manufactured around the world. Used for repairing vintage cars at Jay Leno's garage to digitally recreating the Statue of Liberty, Geomagic aims to enable design and production of one-of-the-kind products and services at a cost less than mass production.

Before co-founding Geomagic, Ping Fu was Program Manager of Visualization at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, where she was a manager in the team developed and launched the NCSA Mosaic software project that led to Netscape and Internet Explorer.

Ping has been serving on the NACIE (National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship). She was invited as a guest of the First Lady Michelle Obama at her box for the President's first State of Union Address. Ping was recognized in 2012 by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as an Outstanding American By Choice.

Coming to the US from China, Ping's journey to entrepreneurship is a remarkable American dream by itself. Her childhood dream was to be an astronaut. Today her company's software is used to ensure safe return of every NASA space shuttle. "There is a deep current of humanity in the way we approach innovation and business" she says. Ping has one daughter and they live in Los Angeles.
