I work for the US Forest Service out of the Black Hills of South Dakota. I started my career building singletrack trails in Sedona, AZ for the Red Rock Ranger District. I now am the Motorized Trails Crew Lead for the Black Hills National Forest specializing in trail maintenance and construction using specialized mechanized trail equipment. I plan, design, construct, and lead various crews in the construction and maintenance of single-track to full sized OHV trails.
