After dropping out of school at 15, I had to go back to college or to work hard to make enough money to provide a living for myself. My passion by then was tennis and after learning how to restring my tennisrackets myself I tried several other ways to customize my racket. My passion became my work and I launched my first company: Racquet Priority. 6 Years later I had opened my first tennisstore, worked on the rackets of 10 former nr.1 in the world players and joined the Dutch national team during their match.
