The Great American Outdoors Act on the CDT.

Raised on a strawberry and pumpkin farm in Virginia, Tambi now calls Bayfield, in southern Colorado, home. She brings more than two decades of experience with the Forest Service, where she mainly led wilderness or trail programs, as well as six years as a wildland firefighter with the BLM. Much of her career has focused on managing volunteer and trail projects along the CDNST and the Colorado Trail across the Rio Grande, Pike-San Isabel, and the GMUG National Forests. Tambi earned her degree in Environmental Studies and Geography from the University of Colorado and recently completed a Master’s Certificate in GIS. She enjoys all the typical mountain fun like hiking, mountain biking, rafting and camping as well as searching for the best hot spring or taco across the globe. She is excited to return to her roots along the CDNST and the wild landscapes it traverses.

Daniel’s roots are on the North Shore of Massachusetts in a small town named Essex. His family has been there for 400 years. He developed an affinity for the old woods and rocky shores of New England and exalted nature with the works of Thoreau and Emerson. When the time came to see what else was out there, he moved to New Mexico for college. There here learned of the simple motto of the United States Forest Service: ‘Caring for the land and serving people’. After graduating he spent 8 years dedicating himself to this mission working for that agency. He now resides in the shadow of the Bighorn mountains in Sheridan, Wyoming with his inimitable partner Claire, their great dane Finn, and 3 cats – Hank, Aurora, and Holstein. This next chapter of his life with CDTC is a continuation of his commitment to caring for the land and serving people with a wonderful team of dedicated and likeminded folks all around him.

Originally from La Crosse, Wisconsin, Mathias developed a passion for trails at a young age through mountain biking, hiking, and volunteering with the local IMBA chapter. He joined Student Conservation Association Crew in high school and learned the power of working with a tight knit community outdoors. Since then Mathias has sought experiences and jobs that allow for extensive time outside including sea kayak guide, Outward Bound instructor, and ski instructor. He currently lives in Taos, New Mexico and is stoked to experience everything summer in the southwest has to offer.
