Rich Neher, Founder & President
​
Rich Neher is a writer, author, and owner of the Los Angeles-based Tennis Media Group, publisher of the monthly newsletter RACKET BUSINESS (formerly TENNIS CLUB BUSINESS), and Founder/Chief Executive of Conga Sports Inc.
​

​
Rich is the recipient of the 2003 Community Service Award by the USPTA San Diego Division and of the PTR's 2019 Excellence in Media Award.
His passion is racquet sports and he saw an enormous opportunity for creating a large network of players, beginners, and clubs all over the country. Partnering with Bryan Baker of Opark Inc, a Northern California creator of cloud-based apps like myclublives.com, the revolutionary new app ‘Conga Sports Club and Player Exchange’ was created enabling clubs to sell unused court space or program openings and reach out to a large number of potential local members. It also allows players to easily find court space and others to play with. Rich’s vision is to scale that network nationwide and create the go-to virtual club for racquet sports players in every state.
