🌲 Meet the Board: Steven BossmanIf you’ve ever wondered how someone goes from backpacking trails to helping run the organization that maintains them, Steven’s story is a pretty good example!Growing up in rural Colorado, Steven had plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. As a teenager, he fell in love with backpacking and the idea of traveling by foot through wild places. Along the way, he also became fascinated by the people who quietly make those adventures possible- the volunteers who go into remote areas and maintain the trails.After thru-hiking the Arizona Trail, Steven and his fiancée decided to move to St. Louis to be closer to her family. He quickly fell in love with the outdoor opportunities in Missouri and wanted to do his part to help preserve and protect them.He started with the OTA Adopt-a-Trail program, and, as he puts it, “one thing has led to another.” Today, Steven serves as OTA Secretary, where he does a phenomenal job helping keep the organization organized, moving forward, and focused on its mission.We’re incredibly grateful that Steven’s love of trails has brought him to the Ozarks- and even more grateful that he’s chosen to give his time and talents to the Ozark Trail Association. 🌲Thank you, Steven, for everything you do for the OT!
