Welcome to Number 26 in our continuing series profiling the men and women who put the extra coat of shellac on the woodworking class project that is Reprise Media. Today we have Sara Wiezorek who, like James T. Kirk is from Iowa. Sara was one of the first people I met at Reprise Media – in fact she rents me my desk and chair.

While I feel that I’ve done my bit for healthy living by climbing up the subway stairs every day Sara climbs actual mountains. Most mountain climbing folk will tell you that they do it because the mountain “is there,” but when I asked Sara her mountain scaling motivation she simply said “Because I don’t like it’s face.” What else gets Sara motivated?
