For an experiment, Victorinox Swiss Army asked to come along on a typical day at our headquarters with an editor. Here’s how we roll.

Adam Ruggiero wrote about a “day in the life” as GearJunkie’s News Editor. He is a journalist (and avid adventurer) who has written for the publication since 2014; Ruggiero lives in Minneapolis and works from GearJunkie’s headquarters in the city.
TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE ON A typical Minneapolis morning and you’ll witness a subtle, shifting rainbow. Streetlights cast copper pools along dark streets. Neon signs flash, the sky erupts from obsidian to orange.
In the middle of it all, two little bike lights blink at passing cars—that’s me. Each morning, at about 7:00 a.m., I hop aboard to pedal into another day at GearJunkie.

The bike ride is just the beginning. If you’re reading, you know the work we do, but work at this office is unlike most any other 9-to-5.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens “behind the screen,” follow along for a day in one GearJunkie editor’s life.
Coffee & Commute
My job might be unorthodox, but I’m still human. Since the news cycle starts in earnest—in fact, it never stops—I throw a sad breakfast into my face, shower (usually), and rush to the local java hut. But getting there is half the fun.
