About the Founders

Dennis and Jenna are the youngest of four siblings. Growing up in New York and New Hampshire, they bonded over sports, golden retrievers and a competitive spirit for Monopoly. They have worked together in a number of capacities professionally – most notably founding a non-profit to collect and redistribute used sports equipment. Along with their spouses, they enjoy spending time hiking in NH, playing board games and challenging each other to a tennis match.
