The Great Outdoors Unlimited is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to getting men (18 & older) together in the great outdoors (There are pics in the gallery of some of our past adventures). I'm humbled to be a part of this team. My heart is, "Lord, show me where to go next. I’ll set the table the best I know how. You invite the guest and serve the meal.” That being said, by God’s grace and as much as it depends on me, I will always strive to make these events first-rate. We would be honored to be a part of you experiencing a new adventure. We have extra equipment and several skilled outdoorsmen more than willing to help! Regardless of the event, never let a lack of experience, equipment, or money keep you from participating!
We all have something to give and we all have something to receive. Men need other good men in their life! I grew up in a very dysfunctional home. It’s only by God’s grace I am who I am. What I lacked at home, God richly supplied through bringing good men into my life, not to judge me, but rather to love and encourage me right where I was. It was through their example I learned what it meant to be a good man, good husband, good father, and good friend. Sixty years later I still remember and thank God for the good men in my life.
We are men of faith, but you don't have to be to attend; any male at least 18 years old is welcome! Churched...unchurched...it dosen't matter to us! As men of faith, we just want to look for ways to bless and encourage you the way the Lord has blessed and encouraged us. Along the way, if there is some truth or wisdom we can share with you, we'd be humbled & honored to do so, but beyond that, there are no siminars or lectures on how you are not measuring up or on how to become a better man ... we'll leave that to others! We love the great outdoors, adventure, sharing a good meal, laughing, having fun, building friendships, and making memories! As my friend Don always says, "Everyone has a story" ... we'd love to hear yours!

NEW ADVENTURE ... COMING SOON!
They don't come any more genuine than Jason. His calm, reserved, upbeat, & fun disposition immediately puts others at ease and draws them to his friendship. However, don't let his mild manner and humble demeanor fool you...he earned a law degree, but then decided, "I do not want to be a lawyer!" Jason now owns & operates a very successful roofing company. Need a new roof? :) By the way, Jason served our country as well.
Every good team needs a Kelly Harmon! Kelly exemplifies the verse, "do not merely look out for your own interests, but also for the interest of others." (Philippians 2:4) We are not only blessed to have his servant heart, but his wealth of knowledge as well. What do you do when you get tired of being a very successful aerospace engineer? You go back to school at age 47 and get a law degree!
Calvin, or as I like to call him, with a British accent, "Bond...Calvin Bond", is without a doubt the most humble man I know. What a blessing to have him on our team! Talk about bragging rights, although he never would, Calvin began his career in the Air Force as a security officer, then criminal investigations, nuclear security, & corrections here & in Europe. From there he joined the DEA as a Special Agent which led to Group Supervisor. He later was reassigned as a Staff Coordinator in the Office of Global Enforcement (OGE) for Europe, Asia, Africa, & operations in Afghanistan; working closely with the Department of Defense, Department of State, & the Intelligence Community. His next promotion landed him as Assistant Special Agent responsible for all DEA operations in Fort Worth, Lubbock, Tyler, & Amarillo. Now retired from the DEA, Calvin serves as Senior Chief of the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office. Calvin would be the first to tell you his success is from the Lord, & his highest aspiration is to honor Him daily!
There are a lot of great ministries out there. If you should choose to donate to this one, we would be blessed and honored. :)
