Tom joined Trail Works in 2024 and began leading hikes along his three favorite lakeside parks: Cornwall Preserve, Beechwood, and Chimney Bluffs State Parks. A hallmark of his hikes are visits to nearby family-run wineries or restaurants post-hike. Tom’s love of the outdoors began on his parent’s tree farm in West Virginia and culminated with climbing adventures on the West Coast, where he summited Mts. Baker, Lassen, Whitney, and Half Dome. These days, his outdoor passions include kayaking, birding, tree identification, and learning & sharing the rich history of Wayne County.
