Meet Our Club's Leadership Team

​Jeannine Horton​
​Club President

HELLO FELLOW NATURE LOVERS!!! I joined the Greeneville Hiking & Cycling Club in 2009, as a vacationer and then relocated to the area permanently in 2012, after my world collapsed at the hands of a few bad villains. The Club, well established and then ran by our past President Ned Sanders, who left me with a big set of shoes to fill; welcomed me with open arms!!! We joined together to hike and bike in our shared interests of loving nature and of course there's that "dining" thing! I retired as a veteran Battalion Chief from the fire and EMS service after 32 years, and accomplished my dream of moving back to the magnificent and magical mountains of the Appalachia! I am a child of Mother Nature and Her Home is My Church! Together with Father Sky, The Great Spirit, we Live, Laugh, and Love!!! The Club was far more instrumental then they know in helping me to heal both physically and emotionally after a succession of tragic events in my life. They were "there for me" and I am so appreciative! I assumed the club Presidency by unanimous default in 2017, and continue to work hard to rise to the occasion and shine like those before me! I am seeking others who share this love and enjoyment of the outdoors and our beautiful gifts we have in this Nation’s lands, who will come join us in their respectful enjoyment, and in protecting these great resources! I am a "free thinker" and don't fit into too many boxes, but here I can always find solace in nature; whether spending quiet time alone in the group or being a social butterfly as we traverse the trail, moving along out our own paces. I have learned from some wonderful hike leaders and area experts, and continue in my lifelong journey of learning and leadership. Come Join Us. Jeannine

Joe Horton

​Hi, I am Joe Horton. Just two years with the Greeneville Hiking Club. Moved here full time from Florida in 2017 after retiring from a thirty year career in the fire service. I have always been the outdoor type and the hiking club is just the right mix for me. There are so many great,  amazing people over here that I've met on our hikes. At my ripe old age of 56, the adventures in my second chapter of life have just begun! I look forward to meeting more of you.

During that time, he was transferred 5 times to different states, and travelled throughout the U.S. and abroad. His passion was volleyball, which he played for 50 years, until a knee injury forced him to stop. These days he plays golf, volunteers, helps at the local library, and reads. Ron is a relatively new member of the club, joining in 2016.
