Today is a day that I have been looking at for months and maybe years. Today is a day I knew would happen, but deep down, I wished it never would happen. After 20 years of having a business that builds outdoor recreation infrastructure, today is the last day we will have field staff employed to build trails. I don’t know what to feel. I don’t know where to look. Today is the day that Singletrack Trails exhales a final breath, and I inhale the first breath of the next steps of my life.

I’m excited to release another interview in our Professional Builder Profile Interview series. I’ve heard from many of you who are enjoying this series. Sometimes, it is easy for all of us to have tunnel vision as we’re focused on our projects and in our corner of the world. This interview series is fun because you can see and hear from professional trail builders from around the world who are making it happen and building their businesses and careers in trail building. Our next interview features Zech McCarthy of Far North Trail Co, located on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Without any delay, let’s jump into this!
