Leisha Murphy

Founding Partner

Leisha is recognized as a pioneer in the modern revival of matchmaking. A graduate of Baylor University, Leisha founded Single? Atlanta 16 years ago with her husband, Les Murphy. Today, as Founding Partner of the firm, she is active in serving clients in the firm’s “Luxury Division.” A classic “connector” with a warm personality, her vision has helped to establish matchmaking as a professional service… and a powerful business concept in an increasingly wired and isolated world.

Lisa Lyngos

Managing Partner

Lisa is active both in the daily operations as well as the service to her select clients in the firm’s “Luxury Division.” Since her early career in the modeling and fashion industry, she says people have always opened up to her easily. “I think people sense that I like to talk about values, dreams, and things that they hold as very personal,” she says. “When I talk to people, we are able to dig deep very quickly. It’s a rich experience.” That approachability, accompanied by both professionalism and intuition, (not to mention a contagious laugh) make her a force for change in the lives of her clients.

Les Murphy

President

A graduate of Baylor University with degrees in accounting, biology and chemistry, Les has been a proprietor in the dating industry since 1998. He became an entrepreneur after six years in marketing with IBM, and has applied those marketing talents into building the largest personal matchmaking company in the Southeast.

Kathleen Messana

Executive Matchmaker

Kathleen has been finding love for her clients all over the country for more than two decades. Insightful and thorough, Kathleen’s clients love her ability to put them at ease and offer her abilities as a mentor and coach. “Success in dating is defined at the beginning of the process,” says this seasoned professional. “You begin with a fundamental decision, in which you have to say I am ready to move on and create the life I’ve always wanted.”

Dana Anckersen

Executive Matchmaker

Dana comes to us from a matchmaking firm in Beverly Hills, California, and ran her own practice serving a high-profile business and celebrity client base. Today, this Georgia native has come home and is now part of the team at Single? Atlanta. In addition to her many matchmaking credentials, Dana is a lot of fun. When she’s not assisting you in your search for love, she can be found skiing, traveling, and doing charity work for breast cancer research.

Angela Scott

Marketing Director

For Angela, the matchmaking industry was a natural step. As a stylist to artists in the entertainment industry, she found her clients coming to her for advice on who to date… and how to date. In addition to her terrific counsel as a matchmaker, Angela’s clients receive valuable advice in personal styling and wardrobe. Angela is quick to tell people that this is more than just a job; this is her passion.

Jordan Church

Vice President of Client Services

In just a few short years, Jordan has introduced over 7000 singles to one another and is dedicated to finding “the one” for his clients. An office favorite, Jordan is warm hearted and a lot of fun to work with. As a hobby he is a health coach to people with serious weight issues, enjoys writing, and, of course, loves being dad to his two beautiful daughters.

Sarah Santowski

Client Services

Sarah is the newest member to the client services department, but she fits in like an old pro. With a degree in psychology from Valdosta State University, she brings an enormous amount of sensitivity and creativity to the firm.

Brooke

Puppy Love Department

At the office on most Saturdays, she is the an enthusiastic greeter. Having our furry friend around helps reinforce lessons about unconditional love and keeping a positive attitude. Brooke graduated from the PetSmart Puppy School in 2005, and likes to show off her skills at sitting, staying and “dancing pretty”—but only for a treat. Her hobbies include frolicking in the yard, endless ball and frisbee retrieval and of course her favorite, neighborhood Squirrel Patrol Captain.
