Jacob, a native of the forested hills of rural Southern Indiana, has loved camping and the outdoors since childhood. Though he’s come to call the city home since moving to Chicago in 2006, he still loves to get out into the woods when he can. Out Our Front Door opened his eyes to the fact that getting to those woods didn’t require an hours-long car trip. Mind: blown! He loves to share the joys of biking and camping with his family and the larger community. He also feels strongly about the importance of active transportation in making cities livable — ask him and he’ll tell you all about it! (You’ve been warned…)
