I have been committed to developing safe trails for all trail users since 1989. My experience spans various natural resource positions, such as conservation, maintenance, and a twenty-five-year tenure as a law enforcement ranger. Standing out as one of the rare equestrian trail specialists, I have profound insight into recreational equestrian trail rider requirements, backed by hands-on expertise in:

• best practice horse keeping

• community involvement

• law enforcement issues and strategies

• equestrian needs & challenges on trails

• equine behavior

• mounted patrol operations

• multiuse trail issues and conflict resolution

• natural resource management

• programming

• trail riding

• trail standards, planning and maintenance in natural areas

• trail use patterns

• volunteerism - oversight, standards, scope

In addition to thirty-seven years in the field, I earned a Bachelor of Science in environmental studies/resource management and an associate degree in equestrian studies. Work, education and personal experience have woven together seamlessly to create a uniquely qualified, neutral horse trail expert and consultant.
