“I
decided to begin this company because, over the last 20 years,
I have been asked, many times, to ‘find a Pro.’ It’s
something the industry needs to continue to grow the game.”

"I highly recommend this service to anyone in the club industry
looking to find a job or fill a position. Denny took the
time to meet with me and understand my situation before trying
to place me. He gave me the opportunity to interview for
positions that were unpublished with high quality clubs.
His connections in the industry allowed me to find a place
where I could fit in and make a living teaching the sport
that I love. Denny made the stressful experience of changing
jobs a very pleasant one. Everyone looking or filling a position
in the tennis industry needs this service.

"I
come from a tennis family in Michigan, but I have always
dreamed of living and working in the Chicago area. I
met Denny through my former boss, Jorge Capestany, of
the DeWitt Tennis Center in Holland, MI shortly after
graduating from college. I turned to him to help me with
my job search. Within no time I had a phone call from
a club, an interview the next week, and a job offer a
couple of days later. Within 3 weeks my dream came true;
I have a great job at a great Club with great people.
