Justin Hymas, Board Director


for the Siskiyou Hiker

08 APRIL 2023 | Ashland, OR — Justin Hymas has lived in the Rogue Valley with his family since 2019. He has had a deep love for the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion since he was a kid going when he would horse-pack trail supplies into trail crews, hunters, and researchers with his grandfather.

Between working in the wilderness as a wildland firefighter and getting to play there as a trail runner, the wilderness areas of the Klamath-Siskiyou hold a special place in his heart.

He is the founder and owner of the remodeling company Ashland Builders and joined SMC because he wants to be part of an organization that is making a difference in the local wilderness areas. With three kids all ready to explore the beauty of our rugged mountains, he needs good trails as much as anyone.

He joined the board of directors in March 2023.
