The Wine Country CrossFit Community

by Ryan on June 30, 2009

We all get together on a consistent basis at Wine Country CrossFit.  During those times there is a lot of talk about movement, health, nutrition, and our other habits that help or hinder our fitness.  Thrown in the mix are grunts, inspirational comments, and even a bit of jockeying and joking around.  But how well do you know your fellow Wine Country CrossFitters outside of the gym?  I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know what everyone does when they are not at the gym.  Let’s all take a moment to reply to the comments with a little about what you do when you are not CrossFitting, heck, maybe we can even provide a little bit of business to each other.

A beautiful day at Ft. Cronkhite

I’ll get the ice broken here.  I am a Graduate Gemologist as stated on our Coaches Bio page, I work for a small, high end jeweler in St. Helena called Palladium.  I do appraisal work, buying, sales, and all of the little things that go along with working for a small business.  Need something repaired?  I can help you with that.  Looking for an engagement ring?  That is what I help people with every day.  I have worked in the jewelry industry for just under seven years now, and have a wide network that I work with on a daily basis.

When I am not working or CrossFitting, I enjoy skiing, surfing, gardening, working on cars, BBQing, and of course since we live in Napa, wine.

Let’s learn a bit about each other!  What do you do?  What do you like to do?

A little about me… To pay the bills I divide my time working for two companies, a small publishing operation specializing in satellite communications, and a startup winery in Sonoma + Texas. My job is strange because I am both a web tech and a graphic designer. I spend some of the day writing code for custom content management systems & web sites. The rest of the time I design for print and the web. Occasionally, and far too often, I fix the company computers.

When I’m not hunched over a LCD screen tightening my hip flexors I like to run, bike, sail, cook or tinker on things in my garage.

See you all soon.
