“I started working with Jill Kelleher, a well-known matchmaker in the San Francisco  Bay Area, about 20 years ago. Jill founded Kelleher International in 1986 and spread her business to major cities throughout the United States. Jill was a great influence for me and helped me open my office of Kelleher International in Scottsdale.  We're in the business of making love happen, and I really love what I do. It is so rewarding to work with such wonderful people and find them that elusive match. To do well in this field I believe that first, and foremost, you have to genuinely care about your clients and their happiness. You need to be curious and have a genuine interest in people—along with being empathetic, a good listener, open-minded, intuitive and having discretion—all the while maintaining a certain professionalism. Getting a call from someone who just got engaged is just the icing on the cake when you're doing something you love and have a passion for.” –Jean Adams, Managing Partner, Kelleher International
