History with BETA
While I haven’t been with BETA long, I believe in it enough to move across the country to become part of this organization and this community. Favorite Trail I’m still finding my way around, on bike, skis and foot. So, if you see me on the trail feel free to stop and chat and suggest the next great trail I should visit. Favorite Season After long, dreary winters in western Washington State I’m happy with any season as long as the sun doesn’t disappear for months. |

History with BETA
I first heard about BETA around 2018 while discovering a love for mountain biking (slowly) while attending college. I've followed its progress ever since and am stoked to be a part of it. Favorite Trail 19th Hole at Scott's Cobble. Can I ride the entire thing well and without trepidation? No, not yet...but we'll get there! Open to new favorites of course, so hit me with your recommendations. Favorite Season Fall has my heart. The sweet, buttery smell of decay, crisp mornings, and the peace left behind after biting insects have shoved off just cannot be beat in my opinion. |

History with BETA
I was immediately inspired to join BETA as a volunteer back in 2010 when I first heard of its formation. I've enjoyed being a part of the organization ever since and have enjoyed the opportunity to work as an employee with a focus on trail building and stewardship since 2018. Favorite Trail When on skis or my bike, I'm often with my dog and I tend to prefer the solitude of our less refined trails that lie in the wilderness. As a builder, I enjoy the relationship I have with the trails that were the most challenging to get built. The harder we have to work, whether during advocacy or an arduous build, the deeper the appreciation I have for its completion. Favorite Season I love the change that Spring and Fall bring. I'm always excited for that first ride or ski of the season! |

History with BETA
Throughout my seasons on the Adirondack Mountain Club's Trail Crew, both the reputation and impact of BETA increasingly stood out to me as I interacted more with the local community of go-getters. Especially while attending the vivid bonfire at Bike Fest 2024 in Wilmington, the aura of the BETA-verse was so strongly tangible, and I knew I wanted to join in on the fun. Favorite Trail On skis, the Old Mountain Lane section of the Jackrabbit is just so stunning. My most frequent route starts from my front door, followed by scraping my bases on some roads, bombing down the golf course hill, and looping Lussi & Loggers trails. On my bike, I'm happy to ride anywhere! This region is jam-packed with epic spots. Currently, I'm loving the ever-evolving thrills at East Branch. Favorite Season I treasure the summertime most dearly, as it was the first season I experienced in this place, and has kept me quite hooked since. The winter and shoulder seasons though unquestionably have their own merits of adventure! Seeing the community thrive outdoors no matter the time of year (or conditions) has emboldened me to embrace it all. |
