Meet The Builders
Keenan Smith
For Keenan, trail building began as a passion and grew into a career. Studying Environmental Science and Outdoor Leadership in college opened up the doors for a career in the outdoor industry. Through volunteering on trail initiatives and projects, Keenan found the importance that trails can have on local communities and peoples lives. Trail building has allowed him to combine his love for the outdoors and mountain biking to create awesome trails and positive impacts on the surrounding areas.
With Pinnacle Trail Design and Construction, Keenan plans to encourage and promote more outdoor recreation through the designing and building of sustainable and fun-to-use trails.
Deanna Oliveri
Deanna Graduated from SUNY Oneonta in 2014 with a BS in Environmental Science and a minor in Outdoor Education. She has always been passionate about anything that allows her to explore the outdoors. In 2012, she discovered mountain biking, and not long after, trail building. Since then, she has focused on honing her skills in all aspects of trail planning, design, and construction. Since she began building trails professionally in 2017, Deanna has made it her mission to bring well-designed and purposely planned trails to her clients. She loves working with land managers, recreation clubs, and planning committees to show how trails can be a valuable asset to a community.
Michael Bagby
Michael has always been passionate about mountain biking. He began trail building when he met Keenan and Deanna as a high school student. Michael studied Geology at SUNY Oneonta and was an avid member of the mountain biking club there. He built and maintained trails all four years of school and has now continued on to make that his career. He finds building trails very rewarding knowing that many people will enjoy his work for years to come. Michael ultimately hopes his work expands the biking community in the northeastern region of the United States.
