Richard has nearly two decades of mountain bike trail design and construction experience. Mentored early in his career by one of the Midwest's leading trail builders, he developed a strong foundation in sustainable trail design and rider-focused trail systems.
As a longtime member and volunteer with the Southwest Kentucky Mountain Bike Association (an IMBA chapter), Richard has partnered with government agencies, municipalities, and land managers to consult, secure funding, design, build, and maintain sustainable trail systems. His project experience includes Ben Hawes, Harmonie, Cave Creek, Grapevine Lake, Hanson, and other outdoor recreation initiatives.

James brings 20+ years of executive leadership in business development, dealer network management, and product commercialization — building and managing partner networks across North America and Europe throughout his career. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Southern Illinois University.
After moving back to Madisonville, James brought that same leadership approach to a hands-on push for better trails and recreation in Hopkins County — helping identify land opportunities for hiking and biking as the critical first step. In 2020, he helped execute Madisonville in Motion, getting the city to revitalize Grapevine Park and fund a new trail system built by Rogue Trails of Arkansas. Grapevine Recreational Trails has since hosted the SWKyMBA local Time Trial race, NICA middle and high school mountain bike league practices, and community volunteer days with local partners like Carhartt and Corner Stone schools.
