The builder

Thirteen years of trail building, mostly by word of mouth.

I’ve spent more than a decade planning, cutting and building mountain bike trails, from the first walk through the woods to the day it’s ready to ride. Most of my work has come from people in the industry who saw a trail I built, or worked next to me on one.

It’s specialty work, and it’s wide. It isn’t only running the machine. I take a trail through design, earthwork, timber features and handover, and you deal with the same person the whole way.

How I work

No gatekeeping.

Plenty of builders keep what they know to themselves so the phone keeps ringing. I do the opposite. I work directly with you and whoever you bring onto the trail, and I teach them the work. Once everyone’s on the same page, more gets done than if the trail depended on me alone.

 

One person, start to finish

You talk to the person who designs it and runs the machine. Nothing gets lost between a planner, a contractor and a crew.

Taught, not guarded

You see why each decision was made, so you can make the next one yourself.

Your people, trained

I can be on six job sites in a year. When I come back, your crew has been practicing and we pick up from there.

Wherever the trail is

I travel across the United States for projects, large or small.

Panhandle Bike Ranch

My longest-running project: nearly four years on site. Photos from the work are in the Projects page, with more of the story to come as I document it.
