JUST FOR FUN:
ALTERNATE DREAM JOB | I’ d love to be a private developer. Public infrastructure is only half the coin, I’ d love to be able to enhance our community from the private sector as well.
OUT OF OFFICE | I run, garden and spend time with my family.
THEME SONG | I jump around to different music. Chappell Roan has been on loop lately.
How do trails contribute to economic development and tourism in the River Region?
Smart investment in public infrastructure often spurs private investment. Building a trail provides the space for that investment to be linear through and between neighborhoods.

What advice would you give to someone looking to get involved in outdoor advocacy?
Get connected. There are a bunch of great people in the community who are focused on downtown development— running / biking groups, environmental groups, you name it. Follow them on socials, go to their events, find your people. This can include state and national organizations as well.
What do you find most fulfilling about your work with River Region Trails?
I’ m just passionate about the project. It’ s definitely a long game but seeing incremental progress is encouraging. The Trail Keepers are awesome too. It fills me up when volunteers show up to help their community.
Are there any upcoming projects or expansions that you’ re particularly excited about?
Our most imminent project is the Riverfront Extension. Groundbreaking will take place this year, and I’ ll be glad to have some miles behind me.
How do you see the River Region Trails transforming the community in the next five to ten years?
Dramatically. The Riverfront experience will be transformative for tourism and economic development. The Jackson Cut rail trail will encourage a lot of private investments along its corridor, especially downtown through currently blighted areas. Cypress Nature Preserve will be a living museum of Alabama ecology right downtown. And, the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail will be transformative for West Montgomery.
