The Dave Cantin Group (DCG), a leading advisory firm in the retail automotive sector, has recently expanded its reach into the world of professional tennis by sponsoring Ethan Quinn, a promising young player. This move follows DCG’s earlier foray into sports sponsorship with PGA Tour professional Quade Cummins, marking a significant step in their sports ambassador program.
Ethan Quinn, a 21-year-old tennis talent from Fresno, California, has quickly risen through the ranks. His impressive performance at the University of Georgia, where he clinched the 2023 NCAA Division I Men’s Singles Championship, set the stage for his professional career. Now residing in Florida, Quinn is set to engage with DCG in creating unique experiences for dealership owners.
Dave Cantin, CEO of the Dave Cantin Group, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, noting, “Ethan’s journey from California to Georgia and now as a top 100 player in Florida exemplifies the determination and competitive spirit that DCG values. We are thrilled to support him as he progresses on the global stage and are dedicated to backing athletes whose paths reflect the ambition shared by automotive dealers across the nation.”
Quinn also shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Joining forces with DCG is a thrilling opportunity. Their dedication to excellence and community aligns with the values I was raised with, and I am honored to represent them as I advance my career on the ATP Tour.”
