J. C. Herz has a diverse career history, making a name for herself in the fields of rock criticism, tech writing, game design, technology entrepreneurship, and physical fitness.
Media Contributions
In her earlier years, Herz was known for her opinionated rock criticisms and tech articles published in prominent publications such as Rolling Stone and Wired. She also brought her expertise in game design to The New York Times, where she wrote the newspaper's first column dedicated to the subject.
Literary Works
Beyond journalism, Herz proved her mettle as a two-time author. Her books, while reflecting her vast and varied interests, continue to draw readers in with their insightful commentary and compelling narratives.
Entrepreneurship and CrossFit
Using the innovative mindset that fueled her writing, Herz ventured into the realm of technology entrepreneurship. However, she also found time to pursue physical fitness, specifically in the form of CrossFit. She frequented a gym where a miscellaneous crowd of white-collar professionals, new moms, active-duty military, and even members of the presidential Secret Service detail participated in their workout of the day (WOD). Among these workouts, Herz's favorite remains "Cindy".
