Pen Finders

Fellow Brit with over 25 years in the sports marketing and promotions game, Pen is a highly accomplished tennis and pickleball player and a certified PPR Pickleball Coach. She also has a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology which she rarely puts to use but always good to know! Add to that her ridiculous sense of humor (needed to keep up with Lee) and you cannot refuse to be entertained!
