Ken Bryan is a native Floridian who enjoys the warm outdoor lifestyle the state’s trails and beaches offer. He built his first trails as a young boy in the woods nearby his home in North Florida, but times have changed. Where he once was sworn to secrecy regarding the location of these trails that he and his neighborhood friends built, he is now committed to advancing public trails for all to know and use. He has been the Florida Director for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy for 23 years and is more excited and bullish about trails now than when starting the job as a young man coming from local government, and feels the tipping point for Florida’s communities towards achieving useful non-motorized systems for practical travel, personal health, and recreation is upon us.
