Trail Built Living was born on the trails.
Running ridgelines gave me wonder and freedom. Yoga taught me to slow down and pay attention. Forest bathing invited me to notice and listen.

Over time, these practices began to converge — not as separate trails, but as a way of living. A way to move with strength, joy, and curiosity. A way to renew, adapt, and stay present through the changing weather.​

I grew up surrounded by forests and mountains, where every bird call and shifting light was worth noticing.

Since then, my trail has unfolded across many landscapes — teaching physics in college lecture halls, founding a local kids business, creating a local community yoga space, roaming trails, rolling out my mat—while always returning again and again to the natural world for clarity, freedom, and spark.​

This is where movement, wild awareness, and nature's wonder meet — a living practice shaped by curiosity, repetition, real bodies, and time outside.​

From this place, Trail Built Living emerged — Dirty Zen for wild humans. A way to ignite strength, mobility, wonder, curiosity, and presence, shaped by real trails, real bodies, and real life.​

This same trail-led vibe meanders through Off Road Barefoot, Chatterbox Sky, and ZigZag Creatures — where movement, wonder, and nature ZigZag all over the world.
