Dayton Crites: A Lost Soul Finds His Passion in Life and Work
Dayton Crites is a senior outdoor recreation planner. During his origin story, he shares the impact of his nomadic youth, finding the value in your time, having a place to do, the realization of why people pay for school, a world not dependent on cars, work aligning with your passions, and connecting communities.
Dayton Crites is a creative and strategic planner. Trained as a landscape architect, he leads multidisciplinary teams to build plans that illustrate and articulate community and client visions. As a visual thinker, Dayton constantly strives to make the complex clear, and develop plans that foster collaboration and guide implementation. This has resulted in physical trail networks and nationally recognized plans alike.
His experience overseeing the development of community bike parks, designing trail systems at ski resorts, and building better streets for human scale transportation make him feel lucky to have the career he does.
Dayton is a certified planner by the American Planning Association. He holds a Master of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning degree from Utah State University. His official undergraduate degree is in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz, but his unofficial degree was in mountain biking.
