Dan Bishop is a seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for craftsmanship and innovation. At just 20 years of age, he founded a decorative concrete company in Austin, TX, where his deep interest in concrete science drove him to become an industry expert. His commitment to innovation and quality helped grow the company into a national leader, culminating in the successful sale of that company in 2017.

A lifelong athlete, Dan played varsity tennis, baseball, and golf, developing a deep appreciation for well-built playing surfaces. After traveling the country with his family and transitioning into investment and consulting, he partnered with industry veterans, Weston Ready and George Stahlin in 2024. Together, they are expanding Evergreen Courts’ legacy, delivering top-tier tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts across the Rocky Mountains.

A true mountain enthusiast, Dan now spends his free time fishing, hunting, hiking, off-roading, and snowboarding—always seeking his next adventure.

His expertise and innovation helped shape modern court construction. A Certified Tennis Court Builder by the American Sports Builders Association, George’s knowledge and skill have been recognized at the highest levels of the industry.

Beyond Colorado, George’s reputation extends to some of the most prestigious courts in the world. For 10 years, he handled the surfacing work for the renowned Sony Professional Tennis Tournament in Key Biscayne, ensuring world-class playing conditions for top professionals.

With a lifetime of experience—more than most will ever know—George has earned his retirement, but his passion for excellence keeps him involved. As Industry Advisor, he continues to guide Evergreen Courts, ensuring the next generation upholds the legacy of quality he built.
