Biography

I spent years advocating, planning, collaborating, writing grants, bidding out projects, and managing construction to build the Ohio to Erie Trail through the Village of Galena in Delaware County. I was also a board member of the Delaware County Friends of the Trail and have assisted with their annual Community Ties fund raiser for years. Upon retirement, I decided to attempt to ride the entire 326 miles of the Ohio to Erie Trail. We decided to only ride the trail, not road, portions. Former Village of Galena Mayor Tom Hopper and I began this adventure together in 2022 in Galena, Ohio heading north to Lake Erie and concluded in 2023 riding south from Galena to the Ohio River in Cincinnati. For most sections, we rode one way then back to our vehicle so in total, we rode 460 miles.
