Neal is an outstanding Ranger. He is professional, courteous to park visitors, and is always willing to help anyone anytime he can. Neal is a huge part of the Cummins Falls team. He has a tremendous work ethic and is constantly working to make Cummins Falls better. On top of law enforcement duties at Cummins Falls, Neal helped to train rookie Rangers and Seasonal LE Rangers with the chief Rangers office in 2020. As a member of TSP SORT he worked every day of the protests at the Capitol. He worked every major rescue at Cummins Falls this past year and saved lives.
Neal does more than just carry out heavy patients and save lives. He led Cummins Falls efforts in paid programs in 2020 by offering a variety of paid programs, ranging from night hikes to fire-side concerts. Neal also began a partnership with a local homeschool collective, and now leads regularly scheduled programs for first graders. I know, the mental picture is priceless. Neal was the driving force behind getting the 3 miles of new trail built, signed and open by the time we reopened Cummins Falls after the Covid-19 closure.
