DIABLO ROCK GYM MANAGER
Hans Florine 
I have been climbing since 1983. I was the director of the US Competition Climbing organization in the mid 1990s and loved motivating people to compete at climbing competitions. I am excited to motivate people to get psyched about all kinds of fitness activity here at DRG, we've really got it all. Come talk to me if you want to share or find a goal that would get you inspired. I have contributed at Touchstone gyms for 15 years with everything from sweeping floors, building walls, marketing, front desk staff, instructor, event organizer, belayer, and a few other things. I have been up El Capitan a few times, I can probably give you some beta.

Zenohe (Z) I'm a mellow guy who has been climbing since July 7, 2002. The fact that I remember the exact date and time (7:04pm) shows what an epic day it was, because that's when I found out how much I love climbing. I'm currently a student at DVC in Pleasant Hill and living in Martinez where things are just as mellow as my personality.
	Emily  My boyfriend introduced me to climbing back in April of 2008 and it instantly clicked. I fancy myself a sport climber and love getting outdoors in attempts to master some hard leads. Right now I am back in school getting my M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology and working here at Diablo Rock Gym so climbing is a luxury I can't often afford. But I hope to be out their climbing hard and strong very soon!
Shannon  I started climbing in 2007, after I graduated from UC Santa Cruz. Bouldering is my passion, but I'm trying to get into leading more. If I'm not at the gym, I'm probably swimming or riding my new dirt bike, Rufio. I love all outdoor activities, and trying new sports.
	Matt I am an Eagle Scout, and certified to issue climbing merit badges. I tinker with electronic remote control cars. I'm building a trad rack. Psyched to be on the Touchstone Team.
Ryan To start off, I would like to say when I was a kid I promised myself that I would be Superman, a pirate, Bruce Wayne, and a firefighter when I grew up.  I don’t plan on backing out of that promise.  I would also like to say that when I was 3 I made my first million and when I was 10 I owned an empire of businesses, so I will.  You can mostly find me in the gym working or in the gym climbing or just in the gym.  Right now climbing is my life and I just want to climb everything!
	Elena Hi everyone, my name is Elena, and I've been climbing at Touchstone for a couple of years now. I take classes at DVC, and am hoping to be accepted into Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley next year. Climbing is a huge part of my life, and I'm really excited to be a part of the Touchstone staff!
