President, Communications Committee, Resource Development Committee

Board member since 2022

In the late 1980s, I was racing on the road and had saved enough to buy a new specialized rockhopper. Back then, there were no mountain bike trails, so we rode hiking trails, horse trails and jeep roads. In the 1990s, I competed in the Wisconsin Off-Road Series (WORS), racing on the road and cycling. I co-founded the Chain Smokers Mountain Bike Team in 1997, where I raced for ten years and built a community of close friends with whom I still ride.

My path to CORP Trails started in 2017 when I began working to get mountain bike trails in New Glarus Woods State Park. This led me to the CORP Trails board in 2022, and I became President in the Winter of 2023. I am focused on demonstrating the value of our volunteer organization to a broader audience: without CORP Trails, the quantity and quality of local mountain bike trails would be a fraction of the 60+ miles we have today. (And we’re building more)! 

Executive Director

Since 2024

If you told me 10 years ago that I would fall in love with mountain biking, I would have said you were crazy! I have always loved being outside – cross-country skiing, hiking, camping, sailing, and visiting as many National Parks as possible. But biking was never a favorite until 2019 when my sons were on our school’s NICA team, my husband became a coach, and I started volunteering. I realized that if I wanted to spend time with my family, I would have to learn to ride. Before I knew it, I was a NICA coach, too, getting out on trails as much as possible. What I love most about mountain biking is the community and the friends I am making.

As Executive Director of CORP Trials, I oversee day-to-day operations, programs, fundraising initiatives, and building partnerships with volunteers and community members. I also collaborate with board members, committees, and other amazing volunteers to ensure our strategic plan and mission to create a vibrant mountain biking community becomes a reality.

Executive Committee, Trail Development Chair

Board member since 2023

Personally, outside is my best side. I am looking for ways to connect people, create space and improve health by getting outside. I have been mountain biking for recreation for 30+ years, NICA coach for 6 years, and riding the local CORP Trails since 2003. My focus for CORP Trails is to help build a sustainable and scalable organization as we look to double our trail miles and expand our programming. I am helping lead the trail development committee.  Professionally, I have 30+ years of experience building and growing construction and engineering companies, primarily in the energy infrastructure (solar and wind) and environmental markets.

Board member since 2023

I joined CORP Trails to help with social media and as a board member. After moving to Madison and enjoying the trails for one season, I learned that CORP Trails was the organization behind all the trail development and maintenance. I attended a public board meeting to learn more and immediately became a board member once I saw the organization's passion and vision.

My focus on the board is to use our social media platforms to showcase our vibrant and active community and amazing off-road riding opportunities in the area. We want people from other places to know that Southern Wisconsin is a travel-worthy MTB destination, and social media tends to be where people learn about cool places to ride.

Events Chair

Board member since 2023

In 1991, I bought a used Cannondale mountain bike because it was becoming popular. A friend took me to Quarry Park in Madison shortly after buying my bike, and I've loved Quarry Park (and mountain biking) ever since. I got back into it when my son started riding in elementary school. We raced WORS together and took many bike-related road trips as a family, and my wife Melissa and I signed up to coach for Madison West NICA. He's in college now, but we still coach NICA, and I help with the Hollander-Neff Jr Development Team.

I'm responsible for events at CORP Trails and am passionate about helping people learn bike skills and connect with others. I helped launch CORP's Winter and Summer clinics and chair the events committee, which organizes fundraisers, workdays, group rides, and more. We're always looking for new committee members!

Board Member since 2021

Trail Steward Co-chair

Board member since 2025

I started riding mountain bikes around 1998. My first job in high school was at a bike shop, and that experience opened the floodgates to a lifelong passion for pedaling. I started racing XC and spent as much time behind bars as possible. I continue to race WORS and endurance events, but lately, I've found that running a McLeod is just as enjoyable as riding the trails.

My path to CORP began in 2022 when the City of Baraboo asked our local mountain bike organization to build an urban singletrack on city-owned land. We contacted CORP for support and partnership, and the board and our friends at the Dam Trails helped us immensely. I am honored to serve as the CORP Trail Steward Chair, helping our amazing Trail Stewards.
