our team of trail loving coffee nerds
Annalou Vincent
Annalou is a trail runner, community builder, and advocate for everyday athletes. She has logged hundreds of miles in Forest Park and completed the Wildwood Trail end to end six times, experiences that shaped her belief that the trail does more than take you somewhere, it changes you. Through The Alpenglow Trail Co., she creates inclusive outdoor experiences that help people reconnect with nature, build resilience, and find the quiet confidence that grows with every mile.

Stephen is a trail loving tech nerd, adventure partner, and Alpenglow’s behind the scenes MVP. From a 12 mile trail run first date to countless shared miles since, he has been Annalou’s biggest cheerleader and a steady presence on and off the trail, helping support runners, wrangle logistics, and even code the Strava magic behind the scenes.

A performer with the comedy troupe The Aces, he’s appeared in film, television, music videos, and on stage, bringing humor and heart wherever he goes. Off the trail and stage, Mike spends his days counseling youth navigating substance abuse and recovery, and on it, he brings calm, kindness, and great company to every mile.
