Jeff Ceccacci - Gym Manager A Detroit native, Jeff moved to the Bay Area in 2004. With an attitude of "live each moment to the fullest" he enjoys the mental and physical challenges of climbing. When he's not at the gym you'll find him outdoors climbing, hiking or camping with family and friends. |

Mick Petts - Asst. Gym Manager Born and raised in the Peak District, England, Mick relocated to San Francisco in 2003 to pursue his climbing obsession and escape his homeland's notouriously bad weather. When not working at Planet Granite, he likes to spend as much time as possible climbing in and around the Sierras. He's just as at home flailing on flared hand cracks as he is testing out his friend's spotting skills and crashpad qualities. Outside of climbing he remains a big fan of music and film and continues his quest to find the perfect bowl of ramen. |

Patty T Patty T. Nowak is an energetic and friendly soul who has been climbing for just over a year. He makes it his personal goal to brighten everybody’s day whether they’re in the gym or out in the world. Taking great pride in the fact that his car only moves to avoid parking tickets, you will often see him zipping through the city on his bicycle when he isn’t running around, practicing his parkour skills (or lack thereof). He dreams of someday being able to juggle. |

Brendan After teaching for four years in the cold of New England Brendan moved to the Bay Area seeking warmer weather and bigger climbing challenges. He has achieved one of these goals. When not at Planet Granite or taking classes he can be found in Yosemite Valley on long free climbs. Other loves include cooking and being in the quiet of nature. photo: Climbing the Prow of Cathedral Ledge (Conway, NH) as a February blizzard set in. |

Brandon Brandon grew up in the amazing San Joaquin Valley, in a town called Clovis. He found rock climbing in San Luis Obisipo in the summer of 05 after building a bouldering wall in his backyard. He hopes to one day own a potbelly pig, and travel across Europe on an epic climbing adventure. |

Ivan Ivan, a native of the Philippine Islands, is a senior at San Francisco State University and a sophmore at the school of hard knocks. Always the one-man wolf-pack, Ivan is known to roam the mean streets of the sunset district on his 49cc moped looking for trouble and excitement in this brick-laced, gutter-lined origami we call life. Ivan started out at Planet Granite at the original Santa Clara gym as an event staff employee, bringing joy and meaning to young peoples' lives and has since worked his way up to the current position of Supervisor. In contention this year for the coolest guy in the Presidio award, Ivan hopes to up his game by hunting down snow leopards on a regular basis, living on a strict diet of steel screws and lugnuts and finally exposing the elusive Higgs Boson. |

Jeremy Jeremy, an expatriate from the nation of Los Angeles was bit by the climbing bug while pursuing his undergrad degree at UC Santa Cruz and has been been hooked ever since. He is stoked to be able to share his passion and pretend that he is a professional climber. When he's not in the gym you can find Jeremy working on or riding his bike, exploring the city, and of course, climbing |

June June grew up in (very!) sunny Glendale, AZ and moved out to the Bay Area in 2004 for college. She started climbing during her last semester of college and hasn’t ever looked back. When she isn’t climbing, you can usually find her playing with her puppy, Puka. She also loves swimming laps, doodling, baking, and watching re-runs of her favorite TV shows. |

Jenice Jenice was born and raised in the city of Santa Clara. She is a second year at San Francisco State majoring in Kinesiology and minoring in Holistic Health with aspirations of becoming a physical therapist. Jenice is quite the travel bug, having been to every continent except for Antarctica. Unfortunately Jenice is prohibited from coming to Antarctica because her bright smile will eventually melt the glaciers. Her favorite destinations she has been to are Rio de Janeiro and Egypt. Jenice loves her Bay Area sports especially the San Jose Sharks…she bleeds teal. On her spare time she likes to play soccer and snowboard. |

After graduating from Loyola University of Maryland in 2005, Megan bounced from state to state, finally landing in San Francisco, CA in 2008. She started working at Planet Granite shortly after moving to the Bay area. When not climbing or working, Megan enjoys playing soccer, cooking, exploring San Francisco, and generally spending as much time outside as possible. |

When not at PG she can be found practicing her new skiing skills, biking around the city, studying in random coffee shops or enjoying a picnic and slackline with friends.
