Junior Achievement of the National Capital Area
On June 19, 2008, Eric Knudson and Jim Liu, recent graduates of Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, MD, were named Youth Entrepreneurs of the Year for the Greater Washington Region by Ernst & Young and Junior Achievement of the National Capital Area. Eric and Jim were honored for co-founding Serve It Up Tenni...s, LLC, a company which provides tennis lessons at local public courts in Montgomery County, MD and the District of Columbia.
After teaching tennis at a local club that charged high rates for private lessons, Eric and Jim decided to teach independently and were so successful that they created their own company, Serve It Up Tennis, in 2005. Since then, they have hired 16 additional coaches, provided tennis lessons to more than 700 clients, and been featured in local print media and television broadcasts.
