About the Owner

Growing up in Los Angeles, CA as a Cub Scout and eventually making it to Eagle Scout, I have loved the great outdoors as long as I could remember.  The sights, the smells, the sounds the conversations around a campfire devoid of modern day electronics are so peaceful and therapeutic in contrast to the big city.

Unfortunately my other passion, computers and video games had taken over and lived a very sedentary lifestyle for a lot of my adulthood.  It wasn't until my mid 30's during the COVID 19 pandemic where I picked up cycling with my dad did I realize what I was missing most of my life.  Cycling led to hiking, hiking led to camping.  I'd fallen back in love with my old flame.  I was on the computer less, outside and active more and felt better both physically and mentally.  I had learned how to balance the two passions in my life.

This experience of learning balance was one of the reasons why I started the company. In this digital age we live in, inactivity is at an all time high and I want to use Trail and Trees as a medium to encourage people of all ages to get their faces away from a screen every once in a while and enjoy the wonders of being active and outside. The company is still in it's infancy stages and there are a lot of ideas to implement down the road so please stay tuned!
