I started my career in trails by joining the Utah Conservation Corps summer trail crew in 2017. After that summer I was hooked and I went from working with the Student Conservation Association, to joining an independent trail building crew in New Hampshire, to working for the Forest Service in Colorado, and becoming a trail skills instructor with the SCA.
