"Since I was a small child I have loved trails. They are paths to adventure – places where new sights and smells are around every turn. Each trip is a journey of discovery. No matter how many times one travels down a trail it will always be a different experience – a place to learn, and grow and simply be.
Trails bring us together and allow us to connect to nature. They are not just a way to get somewhere, but an entire world of their own.
I've been privileged to build a career around creating and repairing trails. I've been doing this work for 30 years, and I still get excited about every step of a new trail I design and every stone I set into a staircase. My work is magical to me, and I bring that energy into every project I am part of."
