I'm a Utah native with a passion for the outdoors! I earned degrees in Automotive Repair and Chemistry from WSU and CSU. My wife and I have raised two children in the Ogden Valley since 2002, and it's become our forever home.

For the past 20 years, I've dedicated myself to building trails around Ogden Valley. I helped create almost 7 miles of the Pineview Loop Pathway. At North Fork Park I helped build Connector, Cinch, TMF, Long Loop, Traidemic, Pipeline, Spork and Trail 365.

​

In the winter, I switch gears and become passionate about grooming the snow at Ogden Nordic. There's something magical about creating smooth (corduroy) trails for skiers and fat bikers!

​

As the Executive Director of Eden Valley Trails, I'm committed to making our valley a haven for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. My dream is to have a dedicated, car-free pathway around Pineview Reservoir for road cycling and a complete trail system for mountain biking throughout the valley.

I was born in Ogden and grew up in Salt Lake and Bountiful. I played ice hockey in high school, and afterwards went to college in California, and finished an engineering degree in Utah. I've worked 30 years in the aerospace industry in Michigan, Arizona and Utah, and for the last 20 years for the Air Force at Hill Air Force Base. My job is to keep the T-38 flying well past its original design life. We have five children, and our sixth grandchild was born the first week of November.

I've always loved the outdoors. I really love biking. When people ask what kind of biking I like best I usually say I like road biking, but I love mountain biking. Fat biking in the snow on the groomed trails at North Fork has become my favorite winter activity over the last few years. I've had a great experience building trails at North Fork over the past five years, first with volunteer events, and eventually working on the design and construction. I want to continue that with the mission of Eden Valley Trails throughout Ogden Valley.

A former world cup freestyle skier, physical therapist and a lifelong cyclist who has ridden and raced all disciplines throughout the world.
