When was the last time you connected with someone new?

About Yinzpiration

Inspired by the positive energy of the Steel City and a presentation by Nicole Crimaldi, I've set a goal to interview 100 Pittsburghers. Ms. Crimaldi challenged our class at PodCamp Pittsburgh 5 to have coffee with someone new every week. So, I decided to start an interview blog, and Yinzpiration.com was born (thanks to the help of Nik, my web developer husband). I hope you return to read what I have learned over the next 100 cups of coffee... or tea, my drink of choice.


About Me

Hello. I'm Kate Stoltzfus. 

I grew up in Goshen, IN, a town of 30,000 people. After graduating with an art major and business minor from Goshen College, I joined my then-boyfriend Nik in Pittsburgh and began my new life as a volunteer with PULSE: Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the city and the people who live here—so I decided to stay.

In addition to managing all things social at Plumb Media, I am co-pilot at Propelle, and a business coach.

Where will you find me in Pittsburgh? Walking in Highland Park, shopping at Ambiance Boutique(s) and noshing at my favorite restaurant, People’s.

Nik and I live in Garfield with our cat, Sgt. Pepper.

That's pretty much my story. I can't wait to hear yours.
