I am an early-career trails professional with the Forest Service. I have seven Agency field seasons currently under my belt: three on motorized trails and four on mixed-use and Wilderness trails. My career has taken me from my home in the Midwest to trail crews in Colorado, Washington, and now Idaho.
I currently manage a trail maintenance program for the Krassel Ranger District, covering just over one million acres of Wilderness and non-Wilderness land.
I want to share my knowledge in chainsaw/crosscut sawyer skills, basic/intermediate rigging systems and micro-blasting (boulder buster and ezebreak) systems for recreation and trail work.
