Executive Director, Hike Bike Alike, Inc
My passion is creating a more accessible, less ableist world in the outdoor adventure space for service-connected disabled veterans, those with PTSD, vision and hearing impaired, domestic violence survivors and adaptive adventurers. In the last 3 years, I have visited all 89 Texas state parks, 48 states and the 51 national parks within them bringing awareness to the importance of creating safe accommodating spaces and activities. I also connect technology and gear companies with adventure resorts and companies to break down barriers and costs to creating a more inclusive world. Plus I help create accessibility guides. Through my own activities (downhill mountain biking, hiking, paddleboarding, rock climbing, ice skating, rollerblading and horse riding) I identify the gaps creating those barriers and work toward accessibility for all.
