I am an Extension Specialist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at Utah State University. I have worked throughout Utah to envision and implement trail planning, design, and maintenance projects, and recreation resource efforts, and community economic growth opportunities. I developed Utah's Trail Master Steward program that provides trail knowledge and skills training opportunities. I also have worked to build the Utah Trails Forum - a community organized to support and promote the stewardship of Utah's trail assets.
