Tim started at Friends of Pathways in November 2006, and while new to the Director role, Tim arrived with a long history with the organization. He was one of the founders of Friends of Pathways back in 1994, and also served as the first Chairman of the Pathways Task Force that was started in 1991. Tim was employed from 1992-2002 as the Pathways Director for Teton County and the Town of Jackson, where he managed the development of the first pathways and initiated programs to enhance national forest trail systems, established partnerships with government agencies, and worked on alternative transportation planning for local government.

Tim has served on a number of local, state, and national bicycle committees and alternative transportation boards, and was recently appointed to the Board of the League of American Bicyclists, the oldest and largest bicycle advocacy organization in America. Tim is an accomplished bicycle adventurer, having completed a seven-year 45,000-mile bicycle tour around the world, as well as successful bicycle expeditions in Europe, Tibet, and the Silk Road in Central Asia. He lives with his partner, Stephanie, in Wilson, WY.

Stephanie Thomas joined the Friends of Pathways staff in May 2008. Stephanie has been in the valley just over six years and her diverse professional background includes teaching, program development, event planning, grant writing and communications; all extremely beneficial for a two person office! Stephanie left the valley about a year ago to complete her Masters Degree at University of Wisconsin-Madison and couldn’t wait to get back to the mountains, the fresh air and open space. When she isn’t raising money and advocating for complete pathways system and safer streets you can find her using the extensive trail systems, on bike and foot, Jackson Hole has to offer.
