CHRIS MARTINEZ
Fitness instructor
After practicing yoga for three (3) years, my favorite yoga instructor advised me to get into yoga teaching. That was all the encouragement I needed as I quickly earned my 200hr, certification in February 2017.
For the past four (4) years, I’ve been teaching students from yoga studios, community centers, apartment complexes, and retirement communities. In 2019, I earned my 500hr yoga teaching certification, and during the pandemic, I earned my “Gravity Yoga” certification in deep stretching and finishing up my NASM, Personal Trainer Certification. Along with my college degree from the University of California - San Diego, in Cognitive Science, I incorporate a yoga practice that develops both mental, and physical health
CHEF DOUG SETNIKER
Director of Culinary Experiences
“I am excited to have the opportunity to work with the dynamic team at Rocky Pond Vineyards. My journey to this point has provided me many great culinary and life lessons. From a culinary school in New York to hotel foodservice and corporate dining, from events serving thousands to private dinners for a few, I have put passion and experience into every dish I serve. The most important people I have ever served are. . . you and the next guests whom I have the honor of preparing a memorable experience for. I see this as a culmination of a great collection of experiences in my life that help me to prepare and share exceptional experiences at Rocky Pond Vineyards.”
