Board & Staff
OUR TEAM
Dodson Harper - Board President
Dodson started spending summers in Colorado in 1997 as a raft guide in Buena Vista. He quickly found mountain biking in Colorado to be far superior to the short single track rides back in Arkansas and has never looked back. He quickly made the transition over to the Gunnison Valley and put down roots. He is a local business owner and loves to get out and explore Gunnison Country (and everywhere else that beautiful) with his wife Krista. While living at the base of Hartman Rocks for six years, he fell into working on trails with Wiens and jumped at the opportunity to become a part of Gunnison Trails. Dodson loves the fact that biking is such an integral part of our valley, whether its riding your townie to work or the bar, or riding out your front door on your days off-bikes just seem to be everywhere and that is AWESOME!
Sarah Stubbe - Secretary
Sarah moved to the Gunnison valley in 1999 and since then hasn’t had a chance to even think about living anywhere else. Although she moved here to take advantage of other recreational opportunities, mountain biking and trail running quickly became her favorites during the summer months. Sarah has been involved with Gunnison Trails since its inception and particularly enjoys serving the valley communities and being a representative for trail advocacy and maintenance. There’s not a day that goes by where Sarah isn’t appreciative of the outdoor recreation that the Gunnison valley provides—trails are a huge part of our lives which is why she works to instill this sense of importance, appreciation and giving back to the next generation as well. Despite the myriad of trails throughout the valley and around Colorado, Sarah’s favorite place to ride is at Hartman Rocks (best place on earth!)
Gary Keiser - Treasurer
Gary grew up in Illinois and enjoyed a 33-year career as a CPA for Ernst & Young in St Louis, Cleveland, and Dallas. Upon retirement in 2000, Gary moved to the mountains (Mt CB) to enjoy hiking, biking and skiing. Gary has served on numerous for-profit, not-for-profit, and governmental boards and committees and brings that financial and governance experience to Gunnison Trails. As a frequent trails user, Gary is an advocate for building and maintaining our trails.
