JULY, 2025 | Michigan Out-of-Doors Podcast Episode 22: Feat. Andrew Comtois

“In this powerful episode, we sit down with Andrew Comtois, founder of Outdoor Driven—a veteran-run and staffed organization with a clear mission: getting veterans into the outdoors for healing, connection, and purpose.

Andrew shares his remarkable journey from serving as a Marine sniper through seven deployments to facing the silent battles of PTSD and depression after returning home. He opens up about the darkest chapters of his transition to civilian life—and how a renewed connection to the outdoors became his path to recovery.

We dive into the origin story of Outdoor Driven, the community it’s built, and the impact it’s already having on fellow veterans across the country. This is a raw, honest, and ultimately inspiring conversation about service, struggle, and the healing power of nature.

If you’re a veteran, love the outdoors, or just believe in the power of purpose-driven missions, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.“
