Meet the Team

We run (or walk) on caffeine

Dana Baumgartner

Favorite Coffee: Herkimer (Seattle)

As the Caffeine Campaign CEO - Dana never stood a chance to escape being a snobby coffee drinker being raised by a family full of coffee snobs in the birthplace of dark roast (Seattle). She enjoys running as a way to reach the caffeination stations quicker.

Jesse Baumgartner

Favorite Coffee: Intelligentsia

Brother to Caffeine Campaign CEO, Jesse was the first Baumgartner child exposed to snobby beans and he never looked back. You can often find him accompanying the cup o' Joe with a nice pastry after running sub 7 mile splits to get there.

Nick Baumgartner

Favorite Coffee: Anchorhead

As Resident West Coast Connoisseur, and brother to the CEO, Nick fully embraces his coffee snobbery in Seattle. Always looking for a new roast for his kitchen coffee-making toys, he calmly asks that you keep your burnt dark Starbucks sludge out of his way.

Neil Cashes

Favorite Coffee: Rook (NJ)

Neil is the Caffeine Campaign hype man. Not only has he introduced the team to the gem of NJ, Rook Coffee BUT he is always team brunch & that kind of support is worth more than gold.

Teddy Economou

Favorite Coffee: Uptown (Seattle)

As a recent almond milk convert, Teddy enjoys his coffee SWEET. This man's coffee must be iced at all times of year and he hopes to get on the "in" with the old man Dunkin' Donuts crew in Jersey City ASAP.

Caroline Kuras

Favorite Coffee: Brooklyn Kava
Currently in the San Francisco Bay Area

The team's eyes & ears for all things D-O-G, Caroline is up for any running adventure so long as it ends with her petting a pup outside the coffee shop. No funny business needed, she drinks her coffee straight black (which happens to match her soul).

Katie O'Keefe

Favorite Coffee: Stumptown

Another recent almond milk convert, Katie has perhaps the hardest job of all... living with a coffee snob. Katie is the team's resident coffee shop walker and keeps track of coffee punch cards like a champ.

Corinne Schoch

Favorite Coffee:

Don't get in the way of this chick when she is uncaffeinated. Also, don't get in the way of this chick when she is overcaffeinated. You can find Corinne sprinting ahead on group runs, sniffing out the best roasts this city can provide.
