Ben and Brian

Ben and Brian grew up in the Ozarks of Southern Missouri. Living in the natural beauty of the Ozarks instilled a passion for Creation in each of them at a very young age. As avid outdoorsmen they fostered a friendship working in the restaurant industry while finishing their undergrad studies. Over a decade ago they began talking about owning an Outdoor Education business. Twelve years, 6 college degrees, 2 corporate leadership jobs later, Ben and Brian took the leap and started Meant 2B Outdoors. Subscribe, and join us on our many adventures!
