The Great Outdoors
I have been an outdoor fanatic since I was a little boy, having gone on hikes with my grandparents at our local metro parks since the age of seven. As I got older, I became interested in camping and backpacking, but did not get to pursue my passion very often because I was too busy working and going to school.
Since having two boys in 2009, I have rekindled my love for outdoor adventure and made it something I want to share with them as they grow older. My desire to travel, hike, camp, and explore has been reborn. Along with that, I've developed a new affinity for outdoor gear. In fact, it has become a passion of mine only after being a father/husband and technology geek.
The purpose of this site/blog is now twofold: 1) to emphasize Web technology, trends, tips, and tricks 2) To showcase and review outdoor gear and apparel, as well as share outdoor stories and experiences as they happen to me. As soon as I return from a hiking or camping trip, I will try to share my story along with photos. When I acquire a new piece of outdoor gear, I will try to review it here with a textual description as well as a video review from my YouTube channel.
