IMBA is proud to announce the hire of a new Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew team. Steve and Morgan Lommele will replace Kelly and Collins Bishop, who are leaving the road after two years of excellent service. Steve and Morgan have some very big work boots to fill, but their strong combination of work and mountain bike experience makes them a great fit for one of IMBA’s flagship field programs.

The Lommeles currently live in Boulder, CO. They have extensive experience with public speaking, facilitation, collaborative processes, communications and, of course, mountain biking! Morgan and Steve are leaving behind jobs as facilitator/mediator for an environmental consulting firm and communications specialist for the National Renewable Energy Lab (respectively) to head out on the road in a Subaru. As an added bonus, they both hold Masters degrees in Environmental Policy and Management and have travelled to 49 of the nation's 50 states, as well as every world continent (minus Antarctica).

Sponsored by Subaru of America and directed by IMBA, the Trail Care Crews work with IMBA-affiliated mountain bike clubs, land managers, and other trail user groups to solve trail management challenges. The crews offer a variety of services ranging from Trailbuilding Schools to Club Care Workshops. The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crews have been on the road for over 10 years, improving trail experiences for everyone throughout North America.
