Meet Our Team
Rebecca was born in southern California, grew up in south Florida, but has called the valley her home since 2004. Running has been a big part of Rebecca's life since high school but was first exposed to trail running in 2010 when she attended Javelina for the first time as a volunteer and spectator. Not only has Rebecca attended every Javelina since then but she has grown to truly love this community. Living in the West Valley, Rebecca spends most of her trail time in the White Tanks and loves nothing more than exploring this gorgeous state with her family.
Raised in Southern CA, Lee was a coach with an after school running program for middle & high school kids. Lee ran his first 50K in 2017, and embraced the Ultra Running community by crewing many Ultra Runners in various races, as well as Co-Race Director races. After moving to AZ in 2018, became involved with Aravaipa Running in 2020 at Javelina Jundred helping with setup and staying involved with Aravaipa until joining the Artworx Crew by becoming the Production Manager in Nov 2023.
Nicole grew up in rural Pennsylvania, made her way through several east coast states and eventually landed in Phoenix in 2014. Her trail adventures began in Virginia along the Appalachian Trail with Major Love, her beloved Saint Bernard. Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail is her ultimate bucket list ambition (along with owning a wildflower farm and learning to weld)! The trail is Nicole’s quiet place to think and reset her mind. The more deserted the trail, the better, which leads to lots of early morning runs and unplanned wildlife encounters. Being a part of Aravaipa has instilled in her a goal to run an ultra someday…. Beyond all this, her family of six is always up to something, whether it’s soccer training, camping, attending concerts or traveling to visit family.
TJ was born in New England and played ice hockey for most of his life. The idea of running was the furthest thing from his mind. After graduating college with an architecture degree in 1998 he packed up his VW Jetta and moved to Phoenix, Ariz. It wasn’t until 2016 that he eventually picked up running and 2018 that he hit the trails. San Tan Scramble 17k was his first trail race and he was hooked. He can be found most days running at San Tan, South Mountain, Usery, or McDowell. He hopes to introduce his 3-year-old son to the sport soon (spectator and crew chief to start) and has a goal to run the Cocodona 250.
Raised in both rural Colorado and Phoenix, Ashley got the best of both worlds. Hiking and camping have always been staples but the outdoors weren’t thoroughly appreciated until she found trail running. The gorgeous views and amazing community keep her hooked. You can usually find her at home base, South Mountain, or exploring the wilderness with her family.
