About: Outdoor [i-van-juh-list]
-noun
-a person marked by evangelical enthusiasm for or support of any cause
My cause is getting everyone out from behind their computer, television, and motor vehicle to step outside their comfort zone and enjoy a more active, healthy, and adventurous lifestyle.
A Cincinnati native moved West, swearing he'd never return to Ohio, settled down and came to Dayton not knowing what to expect.
After only a little time in the Gem City, he realized there is a world of adventure right out his urban front door. Many rivers, hundreds of miles of on and off road trails, and a vibrant outdoor and cycling culture about to change the way the residents and entire region view Dayton.
The Outdoor Evangelist will speak the truth, maybe not always gramatically or politically correct but real.
