Of order 104 stellar-mass black holes may reside within 1 pc of Sgr A*,driven there by dynamical friction. If a substantial number of binariespopulate our Galactic nucleus, some fraction of the stellar black holesmay acquire companions as a result of binary-single exchangeinteractions. Such a binary may capture a second black hole ina subsequent exchange. I will describe encouraging preliminary resultson the dynamical production of black-hole binaries in the Galacticcenter, addressing these objects as potential sources of X-rays andgravitational radiation.
