Ambassadors

My whole childhood was spent in the outdoors. My parents made it a regular point to take my brother and I camping, fishing and hunting. My dad got me my first compound bow at a young age, teaching me to shoot with fingers and then on to a release. From there I was hooked. It’s the deer camps. The high fives and celebrations after a successful hunt from anyone in camp and the tale of the hunt around the campfire that holds a special place deep down in my soul.

Being an electrician may be what I do but I was made for the archery community. Having gone through my own battles with depression and anxiety I’ve realized just how therapeutic archery, and the outdoors has been for me. Outdoor Driven has shown me that I am far from alone in this battle for a better mental health. I’ve seen the positive impact this passion of mine can truly have on all the service men and women right here in my own state and still continue the fight for their mental health every day. It’s the least I can do to share my experiences with all of them because they all have given so much for me. One of the most important things I have come to realize is that it takes a team to truly achieve happiness and success, and I hope I can be one more member that helps in the journey to positive impact to those in need.”

I work for the Michigan Department of Corrections and was honored to be selected for a fishing trip with Outdoor Driven in 2024. On that trip, I was blessed to catch a once-in-a-lifetime sturgeon – an experience that inspired me to give back and support the mission of Outdoor Driven! I deeply admire what this organization stands for and am excited to help get more veterans and first responders, especially women, into the outdoors to experience the same joy and healing that it brings me.“

My true passion is taking people outdoors for their first time hunting or fishing and getting to share the experience and that pure joy of a first fish or duck. Seeing a flock of ducks work into the decoys and the dog doing a perfect retrieve is the ultimate outdoor experience. Getting to share that with people especially through an organization like Outdoor Driven is truly an honor.“

What is an Outdoor Driven Ambassador?!

Our dedicated Ambassadors help us to increase awareness and support for our mission. These passionate individuals have been hand-picked by our Founder, Andrew Comtois, to represent the nonprofit, showcasing its values and mission, and they help to spread the word about our great organization’s work to an even larger audience. Each Ambassador has been/will be carefully selected for not only their professional backgrounds, but also for their character and their passion to help our nations Heroes.

Our Ambassadors act as another face of our nonprofit, sharing their positive experiences and encouraging others to support our cause. They also may volunteer during fundraising events as well as go on a number of Outdoor Driven trips alongside our Heroes to aid in guiding their trip experience. We aim to add more to our team to possibly include a mix of passionate donors, volunteers, and even local influencers who connect with our mission.
