About Naples Pathways Coalition

Michelle began working with Naples Pathways Coalition in 2006. She helped grow the young organization and establish our presence in the Naples community. She has been back with NPC since 2018.

Michelle has a BA in marketing, and started her career with Xerox as a National Sales Training Manager. She grew up in the Chicago suburbs and enjoyed walking, rollerblading, and biking on the trails that are so extensive there. On a road ride a number of years ago, Michelle was hit by a car. A belligerent driver set the crash in motion, contributing to her passion to protect vulnerable road users and educate everyone sharing our streets.

She is excited and honored to continue NPC’s longstanding tradition of working closely with the local government and law enforcement agencies advocating for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists on our roads.  Michelle is an ardent proponent of the expansion and connectivity of Collier County’s limited off-road, multi-use pathways. She is thrilled to be a part of the NPC’s launch of the 70 plus mile Paradise Coast Trail.

Ric’s passion for cycling motivates him to help move the needle to create a safe

continues coordinating their annual community blood drive. After Ric’s illustrious 40+
year career as a cardiologist, he now volunteers in a free clinic and mentors physicians

Jen has been an active and enthusiastic member of the cycling community since 2019, known for her welcoming spirit, reliability, and genuine love of bringing people together on two wheels. Before moving to Naples nearly three years ago, she lived in Winona Lake, Indiana, for 17 years, where she worked as a Research & Testing Quality Engineer for DePuy Synthes Orthopedics and became deeply involved in the local cycling and volunteer community. During that time, she volunteered with Kosciusko County Velo, including cocaptaining the Countryside Tour for the annual Fat and Skinny Tire Festival, helping create a positive, wellsupported experience for riders of all levels.

Jen also brings a strong record of community service, having volunteered with additional organizations such as United Way, Optimist Club, Senior Services, the Lake Area Community Band, and the Grace Community Wind Ensemble. She carries that same commitment to connection and service into every group she joins.

Now living in Naples with her spouse and son, Jen believes a strong cycling club is built on safety, inclusion, and shared adventure. She hopes to serve on the board to expand community outreach, strengthen support for new riders, and foster a club culture where everyone feels welcomed — whether they’re training for longdistance events or enjoying casual weekend rides.
