Stephan was born in Pemberville, Ohio, and spent many happy years splitting time with Trier, Germany, as the son of a serviceman. After earning his degree from Denison University, he fine-tuned his people skills as a bartender before launching into the weird and wonderful world of labels and packaging. Stephan founded Trysk in 2008 with the generous permission of his wife Kortney and the passive-aggressive acquiescence of his three cats.

Originally from Fairfax, Virginia, Daniel is a lifelong birder and animal aficionado who spends his weekends on the birdwalking trails and soccer fields. Daniel is a father of three and housekeeper for seven when he includes Purr and Jura (that’s a cat and a dog, naturally). If you really want a story ask him about his canoe trip down the Rio Grande.

“Scotty” is our little ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. His enthusiasm and energy for working with clients is matched by his knowledge and passion for the industry. Prior to the label business, Scott worked as a winemaker for a large Yakima Valley winery. He understands firsthand the hard work it takes from vine to wine. Scott’s ideal Friday night consists of eating giant bowls of Pho in his jammies with his wife and cats.

Christian was born in Seattle but lived in the Philippines for a few years before returning and calling the PNW home. He joins us via a background in the restaurant industry/sales and a love for wine. A die-hard Seattle sports fan, he wishes the Sonics would come back. He and his wife Kyla have fun keeping up with their three wonderful children (four, if you count Teddy their furry canine).  

Jane joins us through our Watermark Labels acquisition where she spent 3-1/2 years developing a territory in the Sierra Foothills AVA. Prior, she grew a large territory in the SF Bay Area with a paper and packaging distributor. Suffice to say, her love of paper and wine make this career choice a perfect match! When not working, she loves spending time hiking and exploring with her husband Troy and their mini Aussie Greta.

Rob was first drawn to the wine industry after taking a class on the Political Economy of Wine at the University of Puget Sound. He wound up working for a family-owned group of wineries/vineyards in Walla Walla – eventually as their Sales Manager. Fun fact: Rob has played the violin since he was five years old and promises his mother he’ll try to play more often.
